DiffPlug can be installed by simply extracting the archive anywhere on the target computer. This is to allow easy coexistence of DiffPlug 1 and DiffPlug 2 on the same system.

DiffPlug is compatible with 64-bit versions of:

  • Windows Vista
  • Windows 7
  • Windows 8
  • Windows 10

Mac

Double-click the DiffPlugInstaller_[version].dmg file. This will open the disk image. Drag DiffPlug into the Applications folder.

macOS installation DMG

You can now start DiffPlug from Finder by going to the Applications folder.

Depending on your security settings, you might see an error that says "DiffPlug" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash. You can fix this with sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/DiffPlug.app.

DiffPlug is compatible with macOS, including:

  • 10.12 Sierra
  • 10.13 High Sierra
  • 10.14 Mojave

DiffPlug is compatible with 64-bit versions of Linux with GTK+ 3, such as:

  • Ubuntu 16.04
  • Ubuntu 18.04

GTK Troubleshooting

If you see an error message with Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK 3 in the same process is not supported, you can fix this by running export SWT_GTK3=0 at the terminal before starting DiffPlug. If that doesn’t work, try export SWT_GTK3=1. If the problem persists, copy paste the error to our forum and we’ll get back to you ASAP.
