You may install npbackup via PyPI or use the pre-built executables.
### Prebuilt executables
On linux, copy `npbackup` executable to `/usr/local/bin` and make it executable via `chmod +x /usr/local/bin/npbackup`. Any distribution with glibc >= 2.17 should do.
On linux, uncompress the NPBackup tar.gz corresponding to your platform to `/usr/local/bin`, or wherever you want.
You'll get `/usr/local/bin/npbackup-cli`, `/usr/local/bin/npbackup-gui` or `/usr/local/bin/npbackup-viewer` depending on the flavor you have chosen.
You'll need to have write permissionds to `/var/log`. If not, you can specify an alternative log file via `--log-file /my/writable/path/npbackup.log`
Any distribution with glibc >= 2.17 should do.
On Windows, you can directly execute `npbackup.exe` that comes in the zip archive.
On Windows, you should decompress zip archive and run the executable inside it.
The x64 binary is compatible with Windows 10+. The x86 binary is compatible with windows Vista and higher. On those old systems, you might need to install Visual C runtime 2015.
