## Install

### Linux

An Arch Linux package is available on the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/colorgrab/).

To compile ColorGrab on Linux, make sure that you have wxgtk 3.0 or newer, as well as cmake and a C++ compiler. Then run:

    git clone https://github.com/Acolarh/colorgrab

    cd colorgrab

    cmake .

    make

### Windows

A Windows-installer (as well as a standalone executable) is available under [releases](https://github.com/Acolarh/colorgrab/releases).

To compile ColorGrab on Windows you can use [MinGW](http://www.mingw.org). If you use MinGW you will have to manually add GDI+ headers (see [this blog post](http://www.miscdebris.net/blog/2009/09/17/adding-gdi-headers-to-mingw-to-compile-wxwidgets-with-wxgraphicscontext-support/)) before compiling [wxWidgets](http://wxwidgets.org/).

More information about compiling wxWidgets on Windows is available on the [wxWidgets wiki](https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Main_Page).
