 Installing a pre-compiled binary *should* be as simple as downloading the .zip file and extracting it to the location of your choice.  The zip files are named for the operating system and number of bits.  Most recently-built computers (probably post-2010 or so) should have 64-bit operating systems installed.  If your computer is older and you're unsure whether it has a 32- or 64-bit operating system, you can check on Windows 7 by clicking Start, right-clicking on Computer, and selecting Properties.  All recent versions of OS X (10.6 and newer) should be 64-bit.

+<sup>[[Return to Top]](#sharppy)</sup>
+
+The code can be built using the provided Dockerfile. 
+
+    docker build -t sharppy .
+
+You can then run the container providing that the host is running an X Windows server. _Windows_ and _Mac OS X_ may need additional software such as Xming or XQuartz. On _Linux_ this would look like:
+
+    xhost +
+    docker run --rm -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY -ti sharppy
