Run Textadept by running symlink to the executable in your `PATH` (e.g. `/usr/bin`) or make a GNOME, KDE,
XFCE, etc. button or menu launcher.
+##### Problems
+
+It is difficult to provide a single binary that runs on all Linux platforms
+since the versions of software installed vary widely from distribution to
+distribution. Because the Linux version of Textadept uses the version of GTK
+installed on your system, an error like: `error while loading shared libraries:
+<lib>: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory` may occur when
+trying to run the program. If this happens, do not be alarmed, the solution is
+actually quite painless even though it requires recompiling Textadept. See the
+[compiling](12_Compiling.html) page for more information.

#### Mac OSX
Unpack the archive and move `textadept.app` to your user or system
