Translator guides
Install, safety, first-run, and migration notes for a desktop Pot translator setup. Start with the OS that matches your machine, then keep one update door. These pages support the same selection habit without Softonic mirrors.
Windows readers should prefer pot_*_x64-setup.exe from GitHub Releases. macOS readers use the matching dmg. Linux readers use deb or AppImage. Keep package experiments documented when they are intentional exceptions.
Each guide ends with related doors so a teammate can find releases, download-safe habits, and the first-hour checklist without inventing a second binary. Third-party API billing stays separate from the GPL-3.0 program licence. Upstream bugs belong on pot-app/pot-desktop issues, while guide corrections belong on the contact page.
After you finish an OS install page, prove one selection translator pass before you add OCR plugins. Document whether the Windows setup, macOS dmg, Linux deb, or AppImage owns the machine. That note prevents duplicate installs after a reimage and keeps classroom images honest.
