IMPORTANT:

Windows installation notes:
a) Do not install to the same folder as an existing install
b) Install the vc++ redistributable
c) Reboot before running
All 3 steps are required.

MacOS installation notes:
a) Open the DMG and drag
b) Drop where you would like to install
c) Authorize GoldenCheetah to run
Don't run directly from the DMG.

Linux installation notes:
a) Download where you like to install
b) Make it executable: $ chmod a+x GoldenCheetah_v3.6_x64.AppImage
c) Run: $ ./GoldenCheetah_v3.6_x64.AppImage
Don't use the version from your distro applications store, it is likely outdated and incomplete.

Note: you need libfuse2 in your system for the above method to work, otherwise you can self-extract to the current directory: $ ./GoldenCheetah_v3.6_x64.AppImage --appimage-extract and run from there: $ squashfs-root/AppRun
