# Installing Fritzing | ||
|
||
Please make sure your system satisfies one of these requirements: | ||
Windows 10 | ||
Windows 7 was reported to work, too | ||
Mac - OSX 10.14 and up, though 10.13 might work too. MacOS 10.15 is currently untested. | ||
Linux - a fairly recent linux distro with libc >= 2.6 | ||
|
||
Start downloading the Fritzing package that's right for you. | ||
Unzip your Fritzing folder somewhere convenient on your hard drive. | ||
This may also be a good time for you to create a shortcut to the Fritzing application. | ||
A free unzipping program can be found here, should you need it. | ||
|
||
## Notes on Windows | ||
|
||
Unzipping Fritzing might be very slower than the download itself. We recommend | ||
using 7zip | ||
|
||
To start Fritzing on Windows: double-click fritzing.exe | ||
|
||
## Notes on Linux | ||
To start Fritzing double-click Fritzing, or try ./Fritzing in your shell window | ||
|
||
Fritzing uses the Qt5 libraries. On Ubuntu, they can be installed like this: | ||
|
||
"sudo apt install libqt5xml5 libqt5sql5 libqt5serialport5" | ||
|
||
|
||
## Notes on macOS | ||
To start Fritzing on macOS double-click the Fritzing application | ||
|
||
Recent versions of macOS do not allow "unverified" software to be launched directly. In order to run Fritzing, you will need to either: | ||
|
||
1a. right-click the Fritzing icon and select "Open" | ||
2a. in the warning dialog, click "Open" | ||
or, to get rid of the warning permanently: | ||
1b. go to the System Preferences | ||
2b. open the Security & Privacy page | ||
3b. unlock it by clicking the lock in the lower left corner | ||
4b. set it to allow app downloads from anywhere |

Why was the file
install_fritzing.sh
deleted? This script still works fine for me and installing the application is much more convenient than having it lying around somewhere.091ff39

It didn't work for many users, caused confusion and angry emails to our support. But if you worry about the script, 0.9.6 has a new script, that seems to work better (but of course, it is not really battle proven outside from Ubuntu 20.04 yet)

Cool, that also works on my machine. I would like to give it a try under other Linux distributions, too. I noticed that I cannot find it in this repository. Is this new installation script not public?
