| Orca Slicer is a fork of Bambu Studio. It was previously known as BambuStudio-SoftFever.  
 | |
| Bambu Studio is based on [PrusaSlicer](https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer) by Prusa Research, which is from [Slic3r](https://github.com/Slic3r/Slic3r) by Alessandro Ranellucci and the RepRap community. 
 | |
| Orca Slicer incorporates a lot of features from SuperSlicer by @supermerill

 | |
| # How to install
 | |
| **Windows**: 
 | |
| 1.  Unzip the binaries to any folder you prefer, then execute orca-slicer.exe to start the application.  
 | |
|     - *If you have troubles to run the build, you might need to install following runtimes:*
 | |
|       - [MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX64](https://github.com/SoftFever/BambuStudio-SoftFever/releases/download/v1.0.10-sf2/MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX64.exe)  
 | |
|       - [vcredist2019_x64](https://github.com/SoftFever/BambuStudio-SoftFever/releases/download/v1.0.10-sf2/vcredist2019_x64.exe)  
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Mac**:
 | |
| 1. Download the right binaries for your computer: `arm64` version for Apple Silicon and `x86_64` for Intel CPU.  
 | |
| 2. Double click to unzip the package, move OrcaSlicer.app to Application folder.  
 | |
| 3. The app is signed but not notarized at the moment due to the proptiery network plugin.  
 | |
|     We have two options to make it run on our machines  
 | |
|   - Option 1:  
 | |
|     Execute this command in terminal: `xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OrcaSlicer.app`
 | |
|      ```console
 | |
|         softfever@mac:~$ xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OrcaSlicer.app
 | |
|     ```
 | |
|   - Option 2:  
 | |
|       - Step 1: open the app, a warning window will pop up  
 | |
|             
 | |
|       - Step 2: in `System Settings` -> `Privacy & Security`, click `Open Anyway`:  
 | |
|             
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Linux(Ubuntu)**:
 | |
|  1. If you run into trouble to execute it, try this command in terminal:  
 | |
|     `chmod +x /path_to_appimage/OrcaSlicer_ubu64.AppImage`
