Prerequisites

Mac

So far only tested on OS X 10.11.6 on an Early 2008 15-inch Macbook Pro.

There are currently significant performance issues. Windows is recommended at this time. My ability to test macOS is a bit limited, so it hasn't received much dedicated attention yet.

Linux

Not yet tested. Must be built from source, see build instructions in README.md.
