> [!IMPORTANT]
> WinApps does __NOT__ officially support versions of Windows prior to Windows 10. Despite this, it may be possible to achieve a successful installation with some additional experimentation. If you find a way to achieve this, please share your solution through a pull request for the benefit of other users.
> Possible setup instructions for Windows 10:

> - It is recommended to not use `sudo` to force commands to run. Add your user to the relevant permissions group wherever possible.
