Install

Follow the instructions for your specific operating system.

Windows

Download the .msi installer.
Click on it to open it.
Follow the instructions in the setup wizard.

macOS

Coming soon (hopefully).

Linux (Ubuntu / Debian)

Download the .deb file.
Open a terminal in the folder where you saved it.
Run:
```
sudo apt install ./askema_*.deb
```
This also installs
libxcb-cursor0 and
libxcb-xinerama0, along with other Qt xcb libraries. These are not installed if you use dpkg instead, and the app will likely not work without them.
Start Askema from your app menu, or run askema.

Uninstall

I hope you enjoy Askema, but if you want to remove it, follow the instructions for your specific operating system.

Windows

Open Settings and go to Apps.
Find Askema in the list and choose Uninstall.

macOS

Coming soon (hopefully).

Linux (Ubuntu / Debian)

Open a terminal.
Run:
```
sudo apt remove askema
```

This does not delete the app's saved data. To remove that too, run rm -rf ~/.local/share/Askema ~/.cache/Askema. This permanently deletes those two folders, so check the paths before you run it.
