Cate 0.9.0.dev7

Before you install

For each supported operating system (Linux, Mac OS X, Windows) there are two installers:

1. cate-<version>-<platform>.exe/.sh: installers for Cate Core including the command-line interface and Python API;
2. Cate.Desktop.<version>.exe/.dmg/.AppImage: secondary installers for Cate Desktop, Cate's graphical user interface for Windows, OS X, and Linux,

To use Cate Desktop, users must first install Cate Core before installing Cate Desktop.

Linux and Mac users: the Cate Core installers are bash shell scripts which must be executed from a terminal:
