Building from source

How can I build this tool from the source code and what dependencies do I need? I'm not on Windows.

There's no need to build the tool. At least not on Windows. It's coded in PowerShell. And the code is simply executed by running the .ps1 script. Windows 10 comes natively with it installed. On Windows 7/8 you will need to install PowerShell separately.

As for those who use Linux or Mac. I honestly have no idea. You're probably out of luck. You should try if you can install PowerShell on those platforms, but it probably won't do much good since the tool is heavily based on it's use of System.Windows.Forms for it's GUI design which probably is Windows exclusive.

These were the instructions to install PowerShell separately on Windows 7:

--- How to install PowerShell on Windows 7 ---

1. Install Windows Framework .NET 4.5 or above:

2. Install Windows Management Framework 5.1:

• For X86/32bits: Download Win7-KB3191566-x86.zip and run Win7-KB3191566-x86.msu
• For X86_X64/64bits: Download Win7AndW2K8R2-KB3191566-x64.zip and run Win7AndW2K8R2-KB3191566-x64.msu

3. Run PowerShell 5.1 and run $PSVersionTable, you should get this image:
   

4. If PowerShell refuses to run Patcher64+ with a message about scripts being disabled on your machine:

• Open PowerShell's terminal as "Run as Administrator" (or run Start-Process powershell -Verb runAs)
• Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
• Permissions are unlocked now for the whole system
