Screenshot guides
Install, safety, first-run, and migration notes for a local Flameshot setup. Start with the OS that matches your machine, then keep one update door. These pages support the same offline capture habit without Softonic mirrors.
Windows readers should prefer the x64 MSI setup on GitHub Releases. macOS readers can use Homebrew cask flameshot or an arm64/intel dmg. Linux readers can start with Flatpak and fall back to debs or AppImage on the same tag. winget remains an alternate Windows channel when policy already trusts that index.
Each guide ends with related doors so a teammate can find releases, download-safe habits, and the first-hour checklist without inventing a second binary. Window contents you capture stay your responsibility under separate rules from the GPL-3.0 program licence. Upstream bugs belong on flameshot-org/flameshot issues, while guide corrections belong on the contact page.
After you finish an OS install page, prove one short crop before you build ticket folders. Document whether MSI, winget, brew, Flatpak, deb, or AppImage owns the machine. That note prevents duplicate installs after a reimage and keeps classroom images honest.
