BTT-Writer Desktop
A tool to translate the Bible into your own language.
Installation
The Releases have installers for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows installations. git is bundled with these installers (and is a specific version known to work).
Linux users should unzip the release file and install it as BTT-Writer in the /opt/ directory. The included BTT-Writer.desktop file should be copied to the /usr/share/applications/ directory to be picked up by the OS.
macOS users can unzip the application and put it where they want it (usually the /Applications/ directory).
Both Linux and Mac users will need to install git to run the program. Linux users can probably do this with sudo apt install git, while Intel Mac users are encouraged to use the version of git-scm available here.
Git versions < 2.28 are not supported.
The program is not signed for either macOS or Windows, so users will need to deal with the warnings, etc., involved with that.
