-** Note that ''simple_make.sh'' is not guaranteed to work.**+If your distribution is not listed, or you want / need to compile qTox, there are provided instructions [[https://github.com/qTox/qTox/blob/master/INSTALL.md|on GitHub]].

-==== OSX ====+==== macOS / OS X ====
  
-** WARNING: THIS SECTION IS MOST LIKELY OUTDATED**+=== Binaries ===
  
-Installation on OSX, isn't quite straight forward, here is a quick guide on how to install;+Binaries are provided on the [[https://tox.chat/download.html|Tox website]].
  
-The first thing you need to do is install ProjectTox-Core with a/v support. Refer to the INSTALL guide in the ProjectTox-Core github repo. +=== Compiling ===
- +
-Next you need to download QtTools (http://qt-project.org/downloads), at the time of writing this is at version 5.3.0. Make sure you deselect all the unnecessary components from the 5.3 checkbox (iOS/Android libs) otherwise you will end up with a very large download. +
- +
-Once that is installed you will most likely need to set the path for qmake. To do this, open up terminal and paste in the following; +
- +
-  export PATH=/location/to/qmake/binary:$PATH +
- +
-For myself, the qmake binary was located in /Users/mouseym/Qt/5.3/clang_64/bin/. +
- +
-This is not a permanent change, it will revert when you close the terminal window, to add it permanently you will need to add echo the above line to your .profile/.bash_profile. +
- +
-Once this is installed, do the following; +
- +
-  git clone https://github.com/tux3/qTox +
-  cd qTox +
-  qmake +
- +
-Now, we need to create a symlink to /usr/local/lib/ and /usr/local/include/ +
- +
-  mkdir -p $HOME/qTox/libs +
-  sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib $HOME/qTox/libs/lib +
-  sudo ln -s /usr/local/include  $HOME/qTox/libs/include +
- +
-The final step is to run +
- +
-  make +
- +
-in the qTox directory, or if you are using the bundled tox core installation, you can use +
- +
-  ./bootstrap.sh+
  
-Assuming all went well you should now have a qTox.app file within the directory. Double click and it should open! +If you want / need to compile qTox on macOS / OS X, latest instructions are provided [[https://github.com/qTox/qTox/blob/master/INSTALL.md|on GitHub]].
