To download the latest, standalon Picocrypt for macOS is very simple as well. Download Picocrypt here, extract the zip file, and run Picocrypt which is inside. If you can't open Picocrypt because it's not from a verified developer, right click on Picocrypt and hit "Open".

Make sure you have [Snapcraft](https://snapcraft.io/) installed (`sudo apt install snapd`) and install Picocrypt: `sudo snap install picocrypt`. Due to the complexity of dependencies and static linking, I don't distribute standalone .deb or .rpm binaries because they would be unreliable and not worth the hassle.

Additionally, Snapcraft provides better security and containerization than Flatpaks and AppImages, which is important for an encryption tool like Picocrypt. If you would prefer not to deal with Canonical, remember that building from source is always an option. +A Snap is available for Linux, and there are detailed installation guides for most Linux distros at https://snapcraft.io/picocrypt.
