## Setup
### Windows & Mac
Binaries are available from the Releases section.
### Linux (Snap)
[](https://snapcraft.io/wallpappr)
Other formats (i.e. AppImage) can be built manually by following the above-mentioned build process.
### Note 1
Some times after system upgrade the snap package may stop working. In that case, please reinstall the snap package.
### Note 2
For Linux users, changing wallpapers do not work on Gnome version 42 or above, since it depends on npm package [wallpaper](https://www.npmjs.com/package/wallpaper), which is currently having the same problem. See more [here](https://github.com/sindresorhus/wallpaper/issues/82).
