  • All POSIX (Linux®/BSD/UNIX®-like OSes), Solaris™

  • All BSD Platforms (FreeBSD®/NetBSD®/OpenBSD®/Mac® OS)

Krusader uses about 3-4 Mbyte of memory to run and about 15 Mbyte of shared memory, which is also used by other processes, but this may vary depending on your platform and configuration. In order to handle archives the archivers must be configured here.

A package of popular (un)packers, Krusader itself and add-ons can be found on the Krusader downloadpage.
