      3. Launch Unicode the Appication Menu.

  • RPM Based Distro (Mandriva, Red Had/Fedora, derivatives)

    1. We don't have direct support for rpm file so you need to create it using 'deb' file and Alien Package Converter. OR I will suggest you to use AppImage Format.

  • Every Other Linux based Distros (Preferable)

    1. Download the AppImage based on your Architecture of OS(32-bit or 64-bit) from Unicode releases page.
    2. Make it executable with $ sudo chmod a+x unicode_*.AppImage
    3. And Run by Double Clicking or $ sudo ./unicode_*.AppImage

OS-X

Windows

  • Download the latest Unicode installer. Unicode-Setup_32bit.exe is for 32-bit, Unicode-Setup_x64.exe for 64-bit systems.
  • If you want the portable version and not have to install, then download win-ia32.zip(32-bit) or win-x64.zip(64-bit) from Releases page.

    • Various GUI Improvements
    • 'index.html, about,html, help.html' has been moved inside 'app' directory for cleaner code compilation

    • Icon for the respective OS has been moved from 'assets/icons' to 'build/' directory
    • Finally been available to Port to different OS, mainly Linux, OSx and Windows
    • For Linux, AppImage has been choosen for packaging because it is ideal for upstream packaging and distribution. So no need to package in different ways for different distros (Which is a huge pain in the ass by the way, so Kudos to AppImage Team)
