Installation Guide

1. Download the right version

Go to the Download page and choose your platform:
Windows – portable ZIP file
Linux – AppImage (single file, no installation)

SHA256 checksums are displayed for every file — you'll use them in the next step.

2. Verify the file (optional but recommended)

Copy the SHA256 checksum shown on the download page, then generate the checksum of your downloaded file:

• Windows – Open PowerShell and run:
  Get-FileHash .\Paxalia-v1.0.0-win64.zip -Algorithm SHA256
• Linux – Open a terminal and run:
  sha256sum Paxalia-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage

If the two strings match, your file is safe.

3. Windows setup

1. Right‑click the downloaded ZIP file and choose Extract All… (or use 7‑Zip).
2. Pick a folder (e.g. C:\Paxalia) and extract.
3. Inside the folder, double‑click Paxalia.exe.

No installation, no registry changes. (Optional) Right‑click Paxalia.exe and select “Pin to taskbar” for quick access.

4. Linux setup

1. Right‑click the downloaded AppImage file.
2. Select Properties → Permissions → “Allow executing file as program” (or run chmod +x Paxalia-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage in a terminal).
3. Double‑click the file. If it doesn’t open, run ./Paxalia-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage in a terminal.

No root password is needed. For system launcher integration, you can install AppImageLauncher (optional).
