Get started by either downloading the current release (for Windows) or by building it with qmake and make (for Windows, Linux and Mac).

To build this application, you will need Qt5. If you are going to build on Windows, you need to make sure, that your PATH variable contains paths to Qt and MinGW / MSVC toolsets (bin folder).
