Installation
Microsoft Windows
SpeedCrunch for Windows requires Windows Vista or newer (32-bit and 64-bit versions). You can use choose to use either the installer or the portable version of SpeedCrunch. Both of these are available from the SpeedCrunch website.
The installer installs SpeedCrunch on your system and creates an entry in the menu to launch it. This process requires administrator rights.
Alternatively, you may use the portable version of SpeedCrunch, which is distributed
as a .zip archive. This version requires no installation, simply extract it to
a folder of your choice and run speedcrunch.exe. In addition, this version of
the software is fully portable: It stores all its settings and user data next to the
executable so the entire directory can be copied to another computer and run
there.
macOS
Download the macOS disk image from the SpeedCrunch website, open it, and drag SpeedCrunch to the Applications folder.
On first launch, macOS may block SpeedCrunch because it cannot verify the developer. Only continue if you downloaded SpeedCrunch from the official website and trust the download. Try to open SpeedCrunch once, then:
Open the Apple menu and choose System Settings > Privacy & Security.
Scroll to Security and click Open or Open Anyway next to SpeedCrunch.
Confirm that you want to open the app. Enter your Mac password if asked.
The Open Anyway option is available for about an hour after your first attempt. macOS remembers the exception, so you can open SpeedCrunch normally afterward. See Apple’s step-by-step instructions.
Linux
On Linux, SpeedCrunch can be installed either from packages provided by your distribution or from official Flatpak packages.
Distribution Packages
Many Linux distributions already include packages for SpeedCrunch in their repositories. The exact steps to install these depend on the distribution. For example, on Debian and Ubuntu, the included SpeedCrunch package can be installed by running this command:

Check your system’s documentation to find out how to install additional packages. Many desktop distributions also include graphical package management software that can be used to install SpeedCrunch.
