To get latest installable binaries

• for microsoft windows, see Classified-ads-Win32.exe at builds branch that is a pre-built installer for 0.15 release. Comes with Qt and openssl. Or get it from Microsoft store. If you install from Microsoft store, you get automatic updates when next version rolls out so for windows users this may be the recommended method. Application is listed at https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/classifiedads/9NBLGGH4WQFZ?hl=fi-fi&gl=FI and v0.15 update has been submitted to the store.
• For fedora linux 37 and later, just use dnf to install. Fedora 36 and 35 have version 0.15 in updates.
• For debian testing just install from apt, v0.15 is in repository. Same for Ubuntu 22.10. For older versions of Ubuntu, check PPA system as described below.
• For Fedora23 x86_64 (Compilation) check build-time dependencies from README.TXT, then do:
  git clone https://github.com/operatornormal/classified-ads.git
cd classified-ads/graphics-highres/
make
cd ..
qmake-qt5
make
make install
• Classified ads is included in ubuntu distribution but often including an old version. 20.04LTS and 22.04LTS both have old v0.13 that has serious protocol bug. Ubuntu users might want to use the PPA system, by opening terminal and typing:
  sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:operatornormal/classifiedads
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install classified-ads
• There is version of classified ads in gentoo, debian unstable/testing and most recent ubuntu releases. Latest version is always packaged but not all linux distributions accept updated versions if there is no security issue to be fixed.

There is translations to several languages but many of the translations are incomplete (only some words translated) and more can be added, there is thousands of languages in the world. If willing to participate in translations, there are several options

• Fedora has nice web-based tool for translations at https://translate.fedoraproject.org/projects/classified-ads/ and changes made there appear in github as pull requests that can be easily added to project.
• Forking the project or just downloading the source and editing po-files in directory po works with any tool you may want to use, resulting translation files may be again delivered as pull request or ticket attachments.

For tracking the most latest development in linux, the file README.TXT at master-branch root contains build instructions - if in trouble, please ask for assistance.

Rumours are that sw has been successfully also built on osx and used also but as regular development team has no fruits at their disposal, exact build instructions need to be entered here by someone who can test the steps. Basically same steps as for rest of the unix-flavours should be good for osx also.
