How to install Xournal++

Xournal++ is a developer utility. Development happens publicly, and releases are published by the project maintainers.

About the project

Xournal++ is developer utility. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The maintainers own the project. They choose release timing, publish announcements, and write the documentation themselves. Nothing about that process is controlled from here.

Where the project comes from

There is no single universal route here. Maintainers usually describe the supported options themselves, and the choice varies between platforms and between releases.

Platform requirements

Look at the supported versions before anything else. Projects narrow their platform range over time, and older systems can be dropped without much warning.

A quick sanity check

Verifying afterwards is straightforward. If something behaves unexpectedly, check for an older copy earlier in the path, or for a version manager pointing elsewhere.
