INSTALLATION
PeaZip is a natively portable application, it means that no installation procedure is strictly required to prepare the system to run it.
Anyway please feel free to contribute the project porting PeaZip to any installation / package management system you prefer, your help is very appreciated!
To use PeaZip Portable simply unpack the content of the .tar.gz package in the directory you prefer.
You can move the program's folder in another directory whenever you want, even on network or removable units.

USAGE
To start PeaZip doubleclick (or launch by console) "peazip" binary.
Please note PeaZip for BSD is compiled as 32 bit executable, depending on GTK2 libraries.
Qt version was not natively compiled for BSD but this can be done from sources.
If the system finds unresolved dependencies while launching peazip binary for the first time, please follow the instructions of your installer manager to install the needed libraries (may be standard gtk/gdk related libraries, most of times libgdk_pixbuf library). 
If the program does not start and the system doesn't give any warning, try launching peazip from a console to get more detailed feedback.

SYSTEM INTEGRATION
PeaZip is desktop neutral, so it can run on Gnome, KDE and other desktop environments.
If you want to customize the system integration in your desktop environment please follow the instructions in FreeDesktop_integration folder, which contains example for integrating the application in Gnome (.desktop files and Nautilus scripts) and KDE (.desktop files for Konqueror's Action service menu).

NATIVE AND NON NATIVE PACKAGES
PeaZip Portable for Linux packages were successfully tested on various BSD systems due to binary compatibility provided by BSD systems to Linux executables, so PeaZip Portable for Linux can be used as alternative to native packages on BSD systems.
PeaZip Portable for BSD contains natively compiled peazip, pea, pealauncher, and p7zip executables, providing most of the program's funtions are performed by native binaries. For other backends, Linux binaries are used.
