        ## Documentation
        
        [Full documentation is available at the program website](https://damonlynch.net/rapid/documentation/).
        
        
        ## Program Design
        
        Rapid Photo Downloader is coded in Python.
        To get the best performance using Python on modern multi-core computers, the program uses multiple 
        OS-level processes that communicate with each other using the messaging library 
        [0MQ](https://zeromq.org/).

        ## Issue Reporting
        
        Report new issues on the
        [developer's GitHub repository](https://github.com/damonlynch/rapid-photo-downloader/issues).
        
        Historic issues are at the previous code repository,
        [Launchpad](https://bugs.launchpad.net/rapid). 
        
        
        ## Installation
        
        Rapid Photo Downloader is packaged by all major Linux distributions. 
        If you want the latest version, or prefer it run with all its features enabled 
        (like [heif](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Efficiency_Image_File_Format) support), 
        you can run the `install.py` script:
        
        
        ### Ubuntu, openSUSE, Debian, Fedora, and CentOS 8
        
        To install Rapid Photo Downloader, run as your regular user (i.e. without sudo):
        
        ```bash
          python3 install.py
        ```
        
        This script will install packages from your Linux distribution and from the 
        [Python Package Index (PyPi)](https://pypi.org/).
        The program sudo may prompt for your administrator (root) password during the install process, if 
        required.
        
        For a list of optional commands you can give the insaller, run:
        
        ```bash
          python3 install.py --help
        ```
        
        Finally, to uninstall:
        
        ```bash
          python3 install.py --uninstall
        ```
        
        Or to uninstall both the program and its Python package dependencies:
        
        ```bash
          python3 install.py --uninstall-including-pip-dependencies
        ```
        
        
        ### CentOS 7.5
        
        To install on CentOS 7.5, first install Python 3.6 from the IUS Community repository:
        
        ```bash
          sudo yum -y install yum-utils
        
          sudo yum -y install https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
        
          sudo yum -y install python36u python36u-setuptools
        ```
        
        Then run the install.py script:
        ```bash
          python3.6 install.py
        ```

        ### Installation into a Python Virtual Environment
        
        Rapid Photo Downloader can be installed into a virtual environment,
        allowing you to isolate the Python packages it needs from other programs
        on your system.
        
        Virtual environments created with the `--system-site-packages` option are
        not supported. An Intel or AMD 64 bit platform is required.
        
        To install Rapid Photo Downloader into a Python virtual environment,
        create the virtual environment (naming it whatever you like):
        
        ```bash
          python3 -m venv myenv
        ```
        
        Activate the virtual environment:
        
        ```bash
          source myenv/bin/activate
        ```
        
        Then run the installer, passing the command line option telling the
        script to install Rapid Photo Downloader into the virtual environment:
        
        ```bash
          python install.py --virtual-env
        ```
        
        Once installed, you can then deactivate the virtual
        environment with the deactivate command:
        
        ```bash
          deactivate
        ```
        
        Rapid Photo Downloader can be started without activating the virtual
        environment by running
        
        ```bash
          myenv/bin/rapid-photo-downloader
        ```
        
        To uninstall from the virtual environment, simply delete the virtual
        environment\'s directory.
