Portability
Windows
This version of King James Pure Bible Search is available as a native binary
installation for the Microsoft Windows operating system and works on both 32-bit
and 64-bit versions of Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7,
and Windows 8 (desktop, not the new Windows 8 RT.
Confusion between Windows 8 and Windows RT
).
It will also run under the Wine environment in the Linux operating system, as a
Windows-based application, though has a couple of known crashes due to bugs in
Wine. It will not, however, run on Windows 95, 98, ME, or NT.
Mac
This version of King James Pure Bible Search is available as a native binary
package for the Apple Macintosh OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and higher 64-bit Intel
operating systems, and has been tested through OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).
Users with older 32-bit Intel versions of OS X or version 10.5 (Leopard) will need
to download Version 2 of King James Pure Bible Search instead. This is because
Apple is dropping support for their older systems, making it more and more
difficult to develop for them, forcing people to upgrade.
Linux
This version of King James Pure Bible Search is available as a Linux-native
“single-click” binary installation for all Linux Standard Base (LSB) 4.0+ compliant
distributions of Linux on x86 and x64 (32-bit and 64-bit) architectures. Some
distributions of Linux include and install LSB by default. Others, require that you
manually install the “lsb” package from your distribution's repository.
Online
You can also run King James Pure Bible Search directly online from the web
without needing to install it on your computer. There are methods of doing this.
One is via Emscripten (
https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki
), which runs it
directly in your web browser as JavaScript. The other is remotely on the King
James Pure Bible Search VNC (Virtual Network Computing) Virtual computer.

between the two mechanisms and to run it directly online without installing it.
