No. But there are some steps to take that can vary between operating system architectures.
For Windows, the executable will run simply by launching it. As of v3.0.0, you must ensure the two DLLs are also extracted from the zip download and be located in the same folder as the executable file. As of v3.3.0 there is a subfolder called “libs” that contains a few DLLs. All of which need to stay where they are, not be renamed, or moved.
For OSX, in theory, you simply copy the app file from the zip into your Applications folder or Desktop folder. However, OSX can be a challenge. If that does not work, do one (or both) of the following:
It is important to ensure you apply executable permission via the Terminal to the binary file INSIDE the app file. i.e.
chmod +x Quickhash-GUI.app/Contents/MacOS/Quickhash-GUI
That applies executable permission to the binary part of the app bundle.
Also, you may need to still allow the application to run via your system preferences –> System and Security (or press the option key and then double click the app). No libraries ship with the Apple version for v3.3.0 upward because any dependencies are looked up from the OSX dynamic cache now.
For Linux, simply download the pre-compiled binaries and ensure they have executable permission (chmod +x NameOfBinary). Debian packages are made available a few days after a release, and these can be installed as part of your Debian based Linux distribution using your package manager or DPKG (sudo dpkg -I NameOfDebianPackage.deb)
