TiddlyInstall is presented as a universal, reusable system for installing software applications without requiring system-wide changes. It automates the process of setting up compilers and build environments within a project's local folder.
Why it matters
This tool simplifies software distribution and development workflows by isolating dependencies and build processes.

Used for the installer and for the installed app's launcher. Leave the name blank to use the project's name. Pick an icon under Customise.

Linux: GCC or Clang from the catalogue. macOS: Clang from the catalogue, plus Apple's Xcode Command Line Tools. People see the compiler, and that the project's build scripts will run, before anything is installed.
