BGBlitz Installation and Requirements

Windows:
Just double click the download and follow the instructions.

MacOS:
For OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) the installer is a disk image. Double click on BGBlitz_xyz.dmg after download and
drag the BGBlitz folder to any convenient folder.
If there is a security hint if you start BGBlitz the video shows what to do.
Catalina:
Since Catalina (MacOS 10.15) there is a special security check by Apple that I don't support yet, but there is an easy workaround: Open a Terminal window. Enter:
```
        curl www.bgblitz.com/download/macx/BGBlitz_10_8p.dmg >bgblitz.dmg
        
```
and then:
```
        md5 bgblitz.dmg
        
```
to check whether the download was o.k. md5 should respond with:
```
        MD5 (bgblitz.dmg) = 0ea5c222e0180b1bac48dd784d8dfead
        
```
Then you have a bgblitz.dmg file in your home folder and can proceed as above. Here is a screencast to show how to do it.
Linux 4.0 or newer:
If a double click on bgblitz_installer_290.jar or the execution via the context menu does not start the installation, either mark the jar file as executable and try again or open a terminal window in the directory and type
java -jar bgblitz_installer_290.jar
the installation should start then.

Windows 7 and Windows 10
Macintosh OS X 10.8 or newer
Linux 4.0.x or newer

Any PC build in the last 8-10 years should suffice.

About 400 MB free memory and up to 200 MB of disk space are needed.
Naturally a faster CPU, more cores and more RAM never hurts (especially for 4 ply evaluation) ;-)

A resolution of 1280x800 or more is recommended.
