# Diff Checker
A desktop application that allows you to compare text differences between two files.
## Informations

### Overview
*Diff Checker* has been written using Electron, it's available for **Windows**, **MacOS** and **Linux**.
You can download latest version from [here](https://github.com/trembacz/diff-checker/releases).
| Platform | File |
| -------- | ---- |
| Windows | `diff-checker-web-setup-{VERSION}.exe` |
| Mac\* | `Diff-Checker-{VERSION}.dmg` |
| Linux | `diff-checker-{VERSION}-i386.AppImage`
`diff-checker-{VERSION}-x86_64.AppImage` |
#### MacOS\* installation:
**Application doesn't contain production sign so you will see notification that you want to run application from *unidentified developer*. There are two ways to run not signed apps:**
Open ***Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then click General tab***
1. Click the ***“Open Anyway”*** button. This button is available for about an hour after you try to open the app.
2. Click the Lock icon in the bottom left of that window, make sure you have the option ***“Allow Applications Downloaded from: Anywhere”*** selected and click *“OK”*.
