Download and install

Quirewright is packaged for Linux. The libraries it uses also run on Windows and macOS and the source install should work there, but neither platform has been tested.

AppImage

chmod +x Quirewright-*.AppImage
./Quirewright-*.AppImage

Build from the manifest in the repository (sandboxed, with the Qt base app from Flathub):

flatpak run org.flatpak.Builder --user --install \
  --force-clean build-dir \

flatpak run io.github.quirewright.Quirewright
