Picocrypt for macOS is very simple as well. Download Picocrypt <a href="https://github.com/HACKERALERT/Picocrypt/releases/download/1.20/Picocrypt.app.zip">here</a>, extract the zip file, and run Picocrypt which is inside. If you can't open Picocrypt because it's not from a verified developer, right click on Picocrypt and hit "Open".

## Linux
A Snap is available for Linux, and there are detailed installation guides for most Linux distros at https://snapcraft.io/picocrypt. Due to the complexity of dependencies and static linking, I don't distribute standalone .deb or .rpm binaries because they would be unreliable and not worth the hassle. Snapcraft manages all dependencies and runtimes automatically and is the recommended way to run Picocrypt on any major Linux distribution. Additionally, Snapcraft provides better security and containerization than Flatpaks and AppImages, which is important for an encryption tool like Picocrypt. If you would prefer not to deal with Canonical, remember that building from source is always an option.
