Being written in Qt, nomacs is a platform-independent application that has been successfully tested on GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. At the moment, it supports both 32-bit and 64-bit instruction set architectures. Keep in mind though, that on GNU/Linux you will have to compile the application from sources or install it from the default software repositories of your Linux distribution.
A quick look under the hood will show us that the application is written in the C++ programming language, using the Qt GUI toolkit for the graphical user interface. It requires various packages for viewing and editing images, including exiv2, LibRaw, libqpsd, webp, jasper and qtjp2imageformat.
