# Installation

Installation:

Download the latest version from www.c-com.com.au/MMedit.htm

The 32 bit Windows version should run on any version of Windows from Windows XP and later.
The 64 bit version has been tested on Windows 10 and 11 but should run on earlier versions.

To use the installer, download the preferred 32/64 bit version. 64 versions seem to be much less likely to be condemned by your Anti-Virus program.
Run the installer and accept the defaults.
To uninstall, run uninstall from the menu or from Add/Remove programs.

The Windows portable versions can be unzipped into any convenient location with write permissions and run MMEdit.exe and MMCC.exe
You can create desktop shortcuts to make life easier if desired.

To run the Linux versions, unpack the download to a suitable location and run MMEdit and MMCC
To create desktop shortcuts, edit the file paths in the two *.desktop files in the program folder and copy them to your desktop.
Actual procedures will vary between Linux versions.

Linux users may have to install additional packages for the qt subsystem:

sudo apt-get install qt5-default libqt5webkit5

All configuration and data files are stored in a data folder. With Linux and portable Windows, the data folder is located under the program folder.
Windows installers put the data folder in 'appdata'

Apart from file association and uninstall info, nothing is stored in the registry.

If you uninstall the Windows versions, your data is retained. To completely erase MMEdit, delete the MMEdit5 folder under appdata\local after uninstalling.
