Under the hood SparkleShare uses the version control system [Git](https://git-scm.com/) and the large files extension [Git LFS](https://git-lfs.github.com), so setting up a host yourself is relatively easy. Using your own host gives you more privacy and control, as well as lots of cheap storage space and higher transfer speeds. We've made a simple [script](https://github.com/hbons/Dazzle) that does the hard work for you. If you need to manage a lot of projects and/or users we recommend hosting a [GitLab Community Edition](https://about.gitlab.com/installation/) instance.
## Build from source
`SparkleShare` is Free and Open Source software and licensed under the [GNU GPLv3 or later](legal/License_for_SparkleShare.txt). You are welcome to change and redistribute it under certain conditions. Its library `Sparkles` is licensed under the [GNU LGPLv3 or later](legal/License_for_Sparkles.txt).
Here are instructions to build SparkleShare on [Linux distributions](SparkleShare/Linux/README.md), [macOS](SparkleShare/Mac/README.md), and [Windows](SparkleShare/Windows/README.md).
Note: on some Linux distributions you'll need the [TopIcons extension](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/495/topicons/) for GNOME Shell to show the SparkleShare status icon.
**Note:** by default SparkleShare uses an AppIndicator status icon on Linux. If you use GNOME on a distribution other than Ubuntu, please install the [AppIndicator extension](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/). If you don't use GNOME, you can start SparkleShare with `--status-icon=gtk`.
