    +This version of Pidgin downloads an appropriate version of GTK+. GTK+ is now installed locally for Pidgin, and not system-wide, thus Pidgin will not interfere with other GTK+ apps on your system.
    +
    +If you would like to have GTK+ included in the installer, we have an [offline installer](http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/files/Pidgin/2.13.0/pidgin-2.13.0-offline.exe/download) that bundles everything except spell-checking dictionaries.
    +
    +## Linux
    +
    +We do not provide pre-built packages for Linux and Unix distributions. We recommend installing Pidgin using your operating system's standard package management tool.
    +
    +If your operating system doesn't provide a pre-built package, or if their pre-built package is out of date and you want to upgrade, then you can try [building from source](#Source).
    +
    +### Debian/Ubuntu
    +
    +```bash
    +sudo apt-get update
    +sudo apt-get install pidgin
    +```
    +
    +## macOS
    +
    +For a native Mac OS X experience we recommend [Adium](http://adium.im/), which uses libpurple (the core of Pidgin) for much of its protocol support.
    +
    +If you're sure you want to use Pidgin on OS X, you may find the packages provided through [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/), [Fink](http://finkproject.org/download/) or [Macports](https://www.macports.org/install.php) more convenient than compiling from source. Please note, *we do not provide support for issues related to installing Homebrew, Fink, Macports, or their packages of Pidgin*. Contact those projects directly with questions or concerns.
    +
    +If you're sure you want to use Pidgin on OS X and you don't want to use Homebrew, Fink or Macports, you can [download the Pidgin source](https://pidgin.im/download/source/) and compile.

    +This download is for the source code of Pidgin 2.13.0.
    +
    +If you want to **use** Pidgin, you should either download and use our Windows installer or look for pre-built packages from your operating system distribution.
    +
    +If you are looking to **modify** Pidgin, you may want to look at our [instructions for checking out the code from our repository](https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/UsingPidginMercurial).
