Requirements

Natural Docs requires Perl 5.05 or higher to run.  If you’re using Linux or Mac OS X, you should already have it.  If you’re using Windows and haven’t installed it yet, you can get ActiveState’s ActivePerl for free.  There are free versions available for many other platforms as well.

Installing

Natural Docs has no special installation process.  Just unzip the downloaded file and it’s ready to run.

Note that the zip file will not create its own top-level directory.  You should create a directory for Natural Docs and unzip it into there.
