This -section provides comprehensive details about the necessary software -dependencies, hardware specifications, and the compatible operating systems. -Meeting these requirements will ensure a smooth, efficient experience while -using GpgFrontend. - -Please read the following subsections carefully to confirm that your system -aligns with the recommended configurations. +Before installing GpgFrontend, please verify that your system meets the +following specifications to ensure optimal performance and feature support. ## Hardware -While the specific hardware requirements largely depend on the size and -complexity of the data you're working with, we generally recommend: - -A computer with at least 1 GB of RAM. However, 2 GB or more is preferable for -smoother performance. The majority of these resources are allocated to your -operating system, but around 100 MB of memory is needed to ensure the smooth -running of GpgFrontend. At least 200 MB of free disk space for software -installation. Additional space will be needed for ongoing work. - -Please note, these requirements are intended to be guidelines rather than strict -rules. It's possible that GpgFrontend will work on lower-spec hardware, but for -optimal performance, the above specifications are recommended. +For smooth operation, we recommend: -## Operating System +- RAM: 2 GB or more (minimum 1 GB) +- Disk: 200 MB free for installation (plus extra for files) +- CPU: Dual-core or better -GpgFrontend is compatible with major operating systems including Linux, macOS, -and Windows. Specifically, it recommends Windows 7 and later, macOS 11 and -later, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or other equivalent Linux distributions. +These are guidelines. GpgFrontend may run on lower-spec machines, but +performance can suffer with large files or keyrings. -## Software +## OS -To ensure GpgFrontend functions seamlessly, it relies on the following software -dependencies: +- Windows 10 / 11 +- macOS 13 or later +- Ubuntu 22.04 or later -- **Qt Framework:** GpgFrontend is developed using the Qt framework to offer a - rich user experience and cross-platform compatibility. The application - includes: +> Note: Only 64-bit systems are supported. 32-bit systems are not supported. - - **Qt6:** The primary build utilizes Qt6, ensuring a modern interface and - robust performance. Qt6 is included in the release packages for Linux, - macOS, and Windows, offering straightforward setup without additional - installations. - - **Qt5 Support for Windows:** Recognizing the need to accommodate users on - older versions of Windows, GpgFrontend also provides a Qt5-based version. - This variant ensures compatibility with earlier Windows environments, - extending the tool's accessibility and usability. +## GnuPG -- **GnuPG 2.2.0 or Higher:** GpgFrontend integrates with GnuPG for its - cryptographic operations, including encryption, decryption, and digital - signing. While GpgFrontend supports GnuPG version 2.2.0 or newer, some - features may not be fully functional with versions below 2.4.0. For the best - compatibility and to ensure access to all features, it is strongly recommended - to use GnuPG 2.4.0 or higher. Please note that GnuPG 1.x versions are not - supported due to significant differences in functionality and lack of modern - security updates. +- Minimum 2.2.0 +- Recommended 2.4.0+ for full feature support -By catering to a wide range of operating systems and ensuring backward -compatibility with older Windows versions through Qt5 support, GpgFrontend -strives to be as inclusive and accessible as possible. +> On Windows: GnuPG is bundled with the Application, so no separate installation +> needed. ## Network |
