COMPATIBILITY

ASF IZ C# APPLICASHUN DAT IZ RUNNIN ON .NET PLATFORM. DIS MEANZ DAT ASF IZ NOT COMPILD DIRECTLY INTO MACHINE CODE DAT IZ RUNNIN ON UR CPU, BUT INTO CIL DAT REQUIREZ CIL-COMPATIBLE RUNTIME 4 EXECUTIN IT.

This approach has gigantic amount of advantages, as CIL is platform-independent, which is why ASF can run natively on many available OSes, especially Windows, Linux and macOS. There is not only no emulation needed, but also support for all platform-related and hardware-related optimizations, such as CPU SSE instructions. THX 2 DAT, ASF CAN ACHIEVE SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE AN OPTIMIZASHUN, WHILE STILL OFFERIN PERFIK COMPATIBILITY AN RELIABILITY.

DIS ALSO MEANZ DAT ASF HAS NO SPECIFIC OS REQUIREMENT, CUZ IT REQUIREZ WERKIN RUNTIME ON DAT OS AN NOT OS ITSELF. As long as that runtime is executing ASF code properly, it does not matter whether underlying OS is Windows, Linux, macOS, BSD, Sony Playstation 4, Nintendo Wii or your toaster - as long as there is .NET for it, there is ASF for it.

HOWEVR, REGARDLES OV WER U RUN ASF, U MUST ENSURE DAT UR TARGET PLATFORM HAS .NET PREREQUIZIETS INSTALLD. DOSE R LOW-LEVEL LIBRARIEZ REQUIRD 4 PROPR RUNTIME FUNCSHUNALITY AN ABSOLUTELY CORE 4 ASF 2 WERK IN DA FURST PLACE. VRY LIKELY U CAN HAS SUM OV THEM (OR EVEN ALL) ALREADY INSTALLD.

ASF PACKAGIN

ASF COMEZ IN 2 MAIN FLAVOURS - GENERIC PACKAGE AN OS-SPECIFIC. FUNCSHUNALITY-WIZE BOTH PACKAGEZ R EGSAKTLY TEH SAME, THEYRE BOTH ALSO CAPABLE OV AUTOMATICALLY UPDATIN THEMSELVEZ. TEH ONLY DIFFERENCE TWEEN THEM IZ WHETHR OR NOT ASF GENERIC PACKAGE ALSO COMEZ WIF OS-SPECIFIC RUNTIME 2 POWR IT.

GENERIC

GENERIC PACKAGE IZ PLATFORM-AGNOSTIC BUILD DAT DOESNT INCLUDE ANY MACHINE-SPECIFIC CODE. DIS SETUP REQUIREZ FRUM U 2 HAS .NET RUNTIME ALREADY INSTALLD ON UR OS IN APPROPRIATE VERSHUN. WE ALL KNOE HOW TROUBLESOME IT 2 KEEP DEPENDENCIEZ UP-2-DATE, THEREFORE DIS PACKAGE IZ HER MAINLY 4 PEEPS DAT ALREADY USE .NET AN DOAN WANTS 2 DUPLICATE THEIR RUNTIME SOLELY 4 ASF IF THEY CAN MAK USE OV WUT THEY HAS INSTALLD ALREADY. GENERIC PACKAGE ALSO ALLOWS U 2 RUN ASF ANYWHERE WER U CAN OBTAIN WERKIN IMPLEMENTASHUN OV .NET RUNTIME, REGARDLES IF THAR EXISTS OS-SPECIFIC ASF BUILD 4 IT, OR NOT.

IZ NOT RECOMMENDD 2 USE GENERIC FLAVR IF URE CASUAL OR EVEN ADVANCD USR DAT JUS WANTS 2 MAK ASF WERK AN NOT DIG INTO .NET TECHNICAL DETAILS. IN OTHR WERDZ - IF U KNOE WUT DIS AR TEH, U CAN USE IT, OTHERWIZE IZ MUTCH BETTR 2 USE OS-SPECIFIC PACKAGE EXPLAIND BELOW.

.NET FRAMEWORK PACKAGE

IN ADDISHUN 2 GENERIC PACKAGE MENSHUND ABOOV, THAR IZ ALSO generic-netf PACKAGE WHICH IZ BUILT ON TOP OV .NET FRAMEWORK AN NOT .NET (CORE). DIS PACKAGE IZ LEGACY VARIANT DAT PROVIDEZ MISIN COMPATIBILITY KNOWN FRUM ASF V2 TIEMS, AN CAN BE RUN E.G. WIF MONO, WHILE .NET generic PACKAGE CANT AS OV TODAI.

IN GENERAL U SHUD AVOID DIS PACKAGE AS MUTCH AS POSIBLE, AS MAJORITY OV OPERATIN SISTEMS AN SETUPS R PERFECTLY (AN MUTCH BETTR) SUPPORTD WIF generic PACKAGE MENSHUND ABOOV. IN FACT, DIS PACKAGE MAKEZ SENSE 2 BE USD ONLY ON PLATFORMS DAT LACK WERKIN .NET RUNTIME, WHILE HAVIN WERKIN MONO IMPLEMENTASHUN. EXAMPLEZ OV SUCH PLATFORMS INCLUDE linux-x86 (32-BIT I386/I686 LINUX), AS WELL AS linux-armel (ARMV6 BOARDZ FINDZ E.G. IN RASPBERRY PI 0 & 1), ALL OV WHICH DO NOT HAS OFFISHUL WERKIN .NET RUNTIME AS OV TODAI.

AS TEH TIEM GOEZ ON WIF MOAR PLATFORMS BEAN SUPPORTD BY .NET AN LES COMPATIBILITY TWEEN .NET FRAMEWORK AN .NET, generic-netf PACKAGE WILL BE ENTIRELY REPLACD WIF generic WAN IN DA FUCHUR. PLZ REFRAIN FRUM USIN IT IF U CAN USE ANY .NET PACKAGE INSTEAD, AS generic-netf IZ MISIN LOT OV FUNCSHUNALITY AN COMPATIBILITY COMPARD 2 .NET VERSHUNS, AN ITLL BE ONLY LES FUNCSHUNAL AS TEH TIEM GOEZ ON. WE OFFR SUPPORT 4 DIS PACKAGE ONLY ON MACHINEZ DAT CANT USE generic VARIANT ABOOV (E.G. linux-x86), AN ONLY WIF UP-2-DATE RUNTIME (E.G. LATEST MONO).

OS-SPECIFIC

OS-SPECIFIC PACKAGE, APART FRUM MANAGD CODE INCLUDD IN GENERIC PACKAGE, ALSO INCLUDEZ NATIV CODE 4 GIVEN PLATFORM. IN OTHR WERDZ, OS-SPECIFIC PACKAGE ALREADY INCLUDEZ PROPR .NET RUNTIME INSIDE, WHICH ALLOWS U 2 ENTIRELY SKIP TEH WHOLE INSTALLASHUN MES AN JUS LAUNCH ASF DIRECTLY. OS-SPECIFIC PACKAGE, AS U CAN GUES FRUM TEH NAYM, IZ OS-SPECIFIC AN EVRY OS REQUIREZ ITZ OWN VERSHUN - 4 EXAMPLE WINDOWS REQUIREZ PE32+ ArchiSteamFarm.exe BINARY WHILE LINUX WERKZ WIF UNIX ELF ArchiSteamFarm BINARY. AS U CUD KNOE, DOSE 2 TYPEZ R NOT COMPATIBLE WIF EACH OTHR.

ASF IZ CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN FOLLOWIN OS-SPECIFIC VARIANTS:

linux-arm WERKZ ON 32-BIT ARM-BASD (ARMV7+) GNU/LINUX OSEZ. DIS INCLUDEZ PLATFORMS SUCH AS RASPBERRY PI 2 (AN NEWR) WIF ALL GNU/LINUX OSEZ AVAILABLE 4 THEM (SUCH AS RASPBERRY PI OS), IN CURRENT AN FUCHUR VERSHUNS. DIS VARIANT WILL NOT WERK WIF OLDR ARM ARCHITECTUREZ, SUCH AS ARMV6 FINDZ IN RASPBERRY PI 0 & 1, IT WILL ALSO NOT WERK WIF OSEZ DAT DO NOT IMPLEMENT REQUIRD GNU/LINUX ENVIRONMENT (SUCH AS ANDROID).
linux-arm64 WERKZ ON 64-BIT ARM-BASD (ARMV8+) GNU/LINUX OSEZ. DIS INCLUDEZ PLATFORMS SUCH AS RASPBERRY PI 3 (AN NEWR) WIF ALL AARCH64 GNU/LINUX OSEZ AVAILABLE 4 THEM (SUCH AS DEBIAN), IN CURRENT AN FUCHUR VERSHUNS. DIS VARIANT WILL NOT WERK WIF 32-BIT OSEZ DAT DO NOT HAS REQUIRD 64-BIT LIBRARIEZ AVAILABLE (SUCH AS RASPBERRY PI OS), IT WILL ALSO NOT WERK WIF OSEZ DAT DO NOT IMPLEMENT REQUIRD GNU/LINUX ENVIRONMENT (SUCH AS ANDROID).
linux-x64 WERKZ ON 64-BIT GNU/LINUX OSEZ. DIS INCLUDEZ ALPINE, SENTOS/FEDORA/RHEL, DEBIAN/UBUNTU, OPENSUSE/SLEZ AN LOTZ DA OTHR ONEZ, INCLUDIN THEIR DERIVATIVEZ, IN CURRENT AN FUCHUR VERSHUNS.
osx-arm64 works on 64-bit ARM-based (Apple silicon) macOS OSes. DIS INCLUDEZ VERSHUN 11, AS WELL AS FUCHUR ONEZ.
osx-x64 works on 64-bit macOS OSes. DIS INCLUDEZ VERSHUN 10.15, AS WELL AS FUCHUR ONEZ.
win-x64 WERKZ ON 64-BIT WINDOWS OSEZ. DIS INCLUDEZ WINDOWS 8.1, 10, 11, SERVR 2012+ AS WELL AS FUCHUR VERSHUNS. WINDOWS 7 REQUIREZ GENERIC VARIANT AN ITZ SUPPORT IZ VRY LIMITD, U CUD HAS ISSUEZ RUNNIN ASF IN DAT ENVIRONMENT. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND AN UPDATE SOON, AS FUCHUR VERSHUNS OV ASF R LIKELY 2 STOP WERKIN ALTOGETHR WIF IT, NOT 2 MENSHUN DAT TEH OS REACHD ITZ END OV LIFE BAK IN 2020.

OV COURSE, EVEN IF U DOAN HAS OS-SPECIFIC PACKAGE AVAILABLE 4 UR OS-ARCHITECCHUR COMBINASHUN, U CAN ALWAYS INSTALL APPROPRIATE .NET RUNTIME YOURSELF AN RUN GENERIC ASF FLAVR, WHICH IZ ALSO TEH MAIN REASON Y IT EXISTS IN DA FURST PLACE. GENERIC ASF BUILD IZ PLATFORM-AGNOSTIC AN WILL RUN ON ANY PLATFORM DAT HAS WERKIN .NET RUNTIME. DIS AR TEH IMPORTANT 2 NOWT - ASF REQUIREZ .NET RUNTIME, NOT SUM SPECIFIC OS OR ARCHITECCHUR. 4 EXAMPLE, IF URE RUNNIN 32-BIT WINDOWS DEN DESPITE OV NO DEDICATD win-x86 ASF VERSHUN, U CAN STILL INSTALL .NET SDK IN win-x86 VERSHUN AN RUN GENERIC ASF JUS FINE. WE SIMPLY CANT TARGET EVRY OS-ARCHITECCHUR COMBINASHUN DAT EXISTS AN IZ USD BY SOMEBODY, SO WE HAS 2 DRAW LINE SOMEWHERE. X86 IZ GUD EXAMPLE OV DAT LINE, AS IZ OBSOLETE ARCHITECCHUR SINCE AT LEAST 2004.

RUNTIME REQUIREMENTS

IF URE USIN OS-SPECIFIC PACKAGE DEN U DOAN NED 2 WORRY BOUT RUNTIME REQUIREMENTS, CUZ ASF ALWAYS SHIPS WIF REQUIRD AN UP-2-DATE RUNTIME DAT WILL WERK PROPERLY AS LONG AS U HAS .NET PREREQUIZIETS INSTALLD AN UP-2-DATE. IN OTHR WERDZ, U DOAN NED 2 INSTALL .NET RUNTIME OR SDK, AS OS-SPECIFIC BUILDZ REQUIRE ONLY NATIV OS DEPENDENCIEZ (PREREQUIZIETS) AN NOTHIN ELSE.

HOWEVR, IF URE TRYIN 2 RUN GENERIC ASF PACKAGE DEN U MUST ENSURE DAT UR .NET RUNTIME SUPPORTS PLATFORM REQUIRD BY ASF.

ASF AS PROGRAM IZ TARGETIN .NET 6.0 (net6.0) RITE NAO, BUT IT CUD TARGET NEWR PLATFORM IN DA FUCHUR. net6.0 IZ SUPPORTD SINCE 6.0.100 SDK (6.0.0 RUNTIME), ALTHOUGH ASF IZ CONFIGURD 2 PREFR LATEST RUNTIME AT TEH MOMENT OV COMPILASHUN, SO U SHUD ENSURE DAT U HAS LATEST SDK (OR AT LEAST RUNTIME) AVAILABLE 4 UR MACHINE. GENERIC ASF VARIANT CUD REFUSE 2 LAUNCH IF UR RUNTIME IZ OLDR THAN TEH SPECIFID MINIMUM SUPPORTD WAN DURIN COMPILASHUN.

IF IN DOUBT, CHECK WUT R CONTINUOUS INTEGRASHUN USEZ 4 COMPILIN AN DEPLOYIN ASF RELEASEZ ON GITHUB. U CAN FIND dotnet --info OUTPUT IN EVRY BUILD AS PART OV .NET VERIFICASHUN STEP.
