### 
Gentoo
A Gentoo ebuild is available in the [swirl](https://git.swurl.xyz/swirl/ebuilds) overlay, named `games-action/polymc`.
```sh
# as root:
emerge --oneshot eselect-repository
eselect repository enable swirl
emaint sync -r swirl
emerge polymc
# to use latest git version:
sudo tee -a /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords <<< "=games-action/polymc-9999 **"
```
### 
Fedora
An RPM package is available on [COPR](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/polymc/polymc/).
```sh
sudo dnf copr enable polymc/polymc
sudo dnf install polymc
```
Alternatively, a COPR maintained by a PolyMC user (instead of Jenkins' automated builds) is available [here](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/sentry/polymc).
```sh
sudo dnf copr enable sentry/polymc
sudo dnf install polymc
```
### 
Slackware
[A SlackBuild](https://codeberg.org/glowiak/SlackBuilds/src/branch/master/repository/polymc.md) is available. You will need [qt5](http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/libraries/qt5/) (on 15.0 installed by default), [a JDK](https://codeberg.org/glowiak/SlackBuilds/src/branch/master/repository/adoptium-jdk8.md), and if you're on 14.2, you need to compile newer CMake version manually. To build, type in extracted directory with all dependiences met:
sudo ./polymc.SlackBuild
sudo installpkg /tmp/polymc-version-arch-1_SBo.tgz
If you are too lazy to do all these steps, you can just download [a prebuild x86_64 package](http://glowiak.github.io/file/polymc-latest-slackware) and install it with /sbin/installpkg:
sudo /sbin/installpkg ~/Downloads/polymc-version-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz
## 
Windows
[Windows (32-bit)](https://packages.polymc.org/latest/win32/win32.zip) ([SHA256](https://packages.polymc.org/latest/win32/win32.zip.sha256)) - this is a portable package, you can extract it anywhere and run it. This package needs testing.
## 
MacOS
MacOS currently does not have any packages. We are still working on setting up MacOS packaging. Meanwhile, you can [build](https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/blob/develop/BUILD.md#macos) it for yourself.
## 
FreeBSD
For FreeBSD available are:
- [AppBSD Image](http://glowiak.github.io/file/polymc-latest-fbsd64-appbsd) - a portable application, requires [AppBSD](https://codeberg.org/glowiak/appbsd/) to be installed.
- [Gzipped binaries](http://glowiak.github.io/file/polymc-latest-fbsd64-raw) - traditional way to distribute, unpack and run.
In both cases you need X11, Qt5 and Java installed. Both files are 64bit only.
## 
OpenBSD
For OpenBSD available are [gzipped 32-bit binaries](http://glowiak.github.io/file/polymc-latest-obsd32-raw), download, unpack and run.
You need X11, Qt5 and Java installed.
## Development Builds
There are per-commit development builds available [here](https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/actions). These have debug information in the binaries, so their file sizes are relatively larger.
Builds are provided for Linux, AppImage on Linux, Windows, and macOS.
# Help & Support
Feel free to create an issue if you need help. However, you might find it easier to ask in the Discord server.
[](https://discord.gg/xq7fxrgtMP)
For people who don't want to use Discord, we have a Matrix Space which is bridged to the Discord server:
[](https://matrix.to/#/#polymc:polymc.org)
If there are any issues with the space or you are using a client that does not support the feature here are the individual rooms:
[](https://matrix.to/#/#support:polymc.org)
[](https://matrix.to/#/#discussion:polymc.org)
[](https://matrix.to/#/#development:polymc.org)

# Development
If you want to contribute to PolyMC you might find it useful to join our Discord Server or Matrix Space.
## Building
If you want to build PolyMC yourself, check [BUILD.md](BUILD.md) for build instructions.
## Code formatting
Just follow the existing formatting.
In general, in order of importance:
- Make sure your IDE is not messing up line endings or whitespace and avoid using linters.
- Prefer readability over dogma.
- Keep to the existing formatting.
- Indent with 4 space unless it's in a submodule.
- Keep lists (of arguments, parameters, initializers...) as lists, not paragraphs. It should either read from top to bottom, or left to right. Not both.
