## Download
GoldenDict-ng is available pre-built for Windows and macOS. It is available in a few Linux/Unix repos and FlatHub.
* [Latest stable version](https://github.com/xiaoyifang/goldendict/releases/latest)
* [Pre-release test builds](https://github.com/xiaoyifang/goldendict/releases).
Because it is open source, you can always [build it for yourself](howto/build_from_source.md).
## Windows
Choose either
* `****-installer.exe ` for traditional installer experience
* `****-installer.7z` for simply unzip and run experience
If Qt's version is not changed, you can also download a single `goldendict.exe` and drop it into previous installation's folder (If uncertain, don't do this).
Requires Windows 10 (1809 or later).
## Linux

* See the right side for available packages in various Linux distros.
* In Debian 12 and Ubuntu 23.04, `goldendict-webengine` is available (For later versions it is `goldendict-ng`).
* For ArchLinux, pre-built binary is available from [archlinuxcn's repo](https://github.com/archlinuxcn/repo/tree/master/archlinuxcn/goldendict-ng-git).
* [Gentoo package from PG_Overlay](https://gitlab.com/Perfect_Gentleman/PG_Overlay/-/tree/master/app-text/goldendict-ng)
Minimum supported "Linux" version is supposedly the current Ubuntu LTS and Debian's oldstable.
## macOS
Uses one of the `.dmg` installers in the [Download](#download).
Requires at least macOS 13.
## Versioning and Releasing
This project uses Calendar Versioning: `YY.MM.Patch`.
Releases will tentatively be done twice a year, considering factors like the major releases of Qt and the package freeze dates of Linux distros like Ubuntu.
