Refer [the wiki](https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB/wiki/Dependencies) for distro-specific information.\n\n### Required\n\nWoeUSB will not be able to function without these software installed in their proper locations:\n\n* [GNU Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/)  \n  For interpreting and executing the program logic  \n  _Requires \u003e= 4.3_\n* [The GNU Core Utilities(Coreutils)](https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/)  \n  For common Unix utilities necessary for basic operations\n* [util-linux](https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux)  \n  For low-level utilities interacting with storage devices, etc\n* [GNU Grep](https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/) and [Gawk](https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/)  \n  For parsing necessary information out from a command output\n* [The GNU Find Utilities](https://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/)  \n  For enumerating files required for operation\n* [GNU GRUB](https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/)  \n  For installing the bootstrap code used in a Legacy PC boot  \n  We specifically requires modules of the i386-pc architecture, for Debian-based distributions these are provided via the grub-pc-bin package\n* [GNU Parted](https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/)  \n  For manipulating disk partition table and partitions\n* [GNU Wget](https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/)  \n  For acquiring [Pete Batard](https://pete.akeo.ie/)'s [UEFI:NTFS](https://github.com/pbatard/uefi-ntfs) UEFI bootloader\n* [dosfstools](https://github.com/dosfstools/dosfstools)  \n  For creating FAT filesystem in `--device` creation method\n* [NTFS-3G](https://www.tuxera.com/community/open-source-ntfs-3g/)  \n  For creating NTFS filesystem in `--device` creation method\n* [wimlib](https://wimlib.net/)  \n  For splitting install.wim Windows Imaging (WIM) archive so that archives over 4GiB can be fit in an FAT32 filesystem\n\n### Optional\n\nWithout the following dependencies WoeUSB will still able to run, but some functionalities will be unavailable:\n\n* [p7zip](https://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/)  \n  For workaround the problem where the Windows 7 installation media doesn't ship their UEFI bootloader in the proper location\n* [Pete Batard](https://pete.akeo.ie/)'s [UEFI:NTFS](https://github.com/pbatard/uefi-ntfs) UEFI bootloader  \n  For supporting NTFS filesystems in the target USB key\n* [GNU gettext](https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/)  \n  For supporting message internationalization(I18N)\n\n## Installation\n\nTo be addressed.  For now refer [Run from source](#run-from-source).\n\n## Run from source\n\nWoeUSB is a program that can be run without installation(excluding its [dependencies](#dependencies)):\n\n1. Download the program(woeusb-N.N.N.bash) from [the Releases page](https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB/releases)\n1. Fix the missing executable file permission (`chmod +x path/to/woeusb-N.N.N.bash`)\n1. Launch a terminal application and run the program via the appropriate path(`sudo path/to/woeusb-N.N.N.bash --help`)\n\n## Usage\n\n### Environment variables\n\nThe following are the environment variables that may change WoeUSB's runtime behavior:\n\n| Variable name | Usage |\n| :-: | :-- |\n| RUFUS_UEFI_NTFS_VERSION | The release tag/revision of [the Rufus source tree](https://github.com/pbatard/rufus) to fetch the UEFI:NTFS image from, will use a tested version by default |\n\n## License\n\nWoeUSB is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify\nit under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by\nthe Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or\n(at your option) any later version.\n\nWoeUSB is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,\nbut WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of\nMERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
