Minimum Requirements

PubCoder is a desktop application that runs on macOS and Windows. The system requirements vary basing on which operating system you use.

Minimum requirements for Mac

Additional Requirements

Basing on the features you use, you may need to install some additional software, for example the use of EPUB validation or exporting an Android app require a Java JDK to be installed. When PubCoder requires some additional software, it will prompt to install it automatically or will give appropriate instructions on how to proceed.
