## Linux Build Variants

This release includes multiple Linux build variants to ensure compatibility:

### Standard Builds
- **x86_64-linux**: Built on Ubuntu 24.04 (requires GLIBC 2.39+)
- **arm64-linux**: Built on Ubuntu 22.04 ARM

### Compatible Builds (Recommended for older systems)
- **x86_64-linux-compat**: Built on Ubuntu 20.04 (requires GLIBC 2.31+, compatible with most distributions from 2020+)
- **arm64-linux-compat**: Built on Ubuntu 20.04 ARM

### AppImage (Most Compatible)
- **x86_64-linux-appimage**: Self-contained AppImage with all dependencies bundled. Works on most Linux distributions.

**Which version should I use?**
- Try the **-compat** version first if you're on an older Linux distribution
- Use the **AppImage** if you encounter any dependency issues
- The standard builds offer the best performance on modern systems

⚠️ Potential issue

Fix the test directory ignore pattern.

The new test scripts live under build-tests/, but .gitignore currently ignores build-test/. This mismatch will still track files in build-tests/. Please update to:

-# Test build directories
-build-test/
+# Test build directories
+build-tests/
📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change
# Test build directories
build-test/
# Test build directories
build-tests/
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents 
In the .gitignore file around lines 29 to 31, the ignore pattern is set to
"build-test/" but the actual test build directories are named "build-tests/".
Update the ignore pattern to "build-tests/" to correctly ignore the test build
directories and prevent tracking those files.

## Installation

To install Dash Evo Tool:
### Download Pre-built Packages (Recommended)

The easiest way to get started is to download a pre-built package from the [latest release](https://github.com/dashpay/dash-evo-tool/releases/latest).

#### Linux

We provide multiple Linux packages to ensure compatibility:

- **Standard builds** (`x86_64-linux`, `arm64-linux`): For modern systems with GLIBC 2.39+
- **Compatible builds** (`x86_64-linux-compat`, `arm64-linux-compat`): For older systems with GLIBC 2.31+ (Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, etc.)
