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. - -## 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. - -## Operating System - -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. - -## Software - -To ensure GpgFrontend functions seamlessly, it relies on the following software -dependencies: - -- **Qt Framework:** GpgFrontend is developed using the Qt framework to offer a - rich user experience and cross-platform compatibility. The application - includes: - - - **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 2.2.0 or Higher:** GpgFrontend integrates with GnuPG for its - cryptographic operations, including encryption, decryption, and digital - signing. GnuPG (version 2.2.0 or newer) is a necessary component to leverage - the full capabilities of GpgFrontend. Please note, GnuPG 1.x versions are not - supported by GpgFrontend due to differences in functionality and support. - Users are encouraged to use GnuPG 2.x to ensure compatibility and secure - operations. - -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. - -## Network - -Although not necessary for basic operation, an active Internet connection may be -required for software updates and accessing online help resources. - -Please note that these are the minimal requirements that we tested, and actual -requirements for your use case could be higher, especially for large datasets. |
