## Welcome to sm-ssc

### System Requirements

sm-ssc can run on this bare minimum:

- Operating System(s):
  - Windows® (2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7)
  - Mac OS X (10.?)
  - *NIX/POSIX-compliant OS (GNU/Linux, *BSD)
  - Microsoft® Xbox® (The Xbox build currently does not function.)

However, we highly recommend at least these settings for decent performance:

### Installation

If you're reading this, you've likely already figured out how to install sm-ssc. Just in case you're reading this without having installed it yourself, however, here are the installation instructions for various operating systems.

#### Windows

The Windows version is available as an .exe installer and a .zip/GameData.smzip combination. The .exe installer is much easier to deal with, but in case it doesn't work out for you, we have provided a zip file for manual installation. The zip distribution can be converted into Portable mode by placing a blank Portable.ini inside of the sm-ssc directory.

#### Mac OS X

The Mac version is distributed as a .dmg file; Mount it, make a sm-ssc folder in Applications/, then put sm-ssc in there, and make folders as needed. That probably isn't the best way to do it, but it is A way.

#### Linux

Linux users are typically expected to build from source. See Compiling on the sm-ssc wiki for more information.
