## Introduction **QLC+** is powerful and user-friendly software to control lighting. QLC+ supports a [huge amount of hardware,](https://qlcplus.org/discover/compatibility) runs on Linux, Windows (10+), macOS (10.12+), and Raspberry Pi.

The primary goal of this project is to bring QLC+ to the level of available commercial software. ### Supported protocols ### QLC+ on social media [-%23FF0000.svg?style=flat-square&logo=YouTube)](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHT-wIriuitDiW4A9oKSDr__Z_jcmMVdi) [-%23FF0000.svg?style=flat-square&logo=YouTube)](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHT-wIriuitBQo0DKX9YgWVmS6LsEErE_) ## Support & bug reports We have a dedicated page to help you find support, please check out [SUPPORT.md](SUPPORT.md).

Perhaps you can find a solution? ## Building QLC+ Compilation guides and platform-specific instructions are available in our [GitHub Wiki](https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus/wiki). #### Developers at work If you're regularly updating QLC+ sources with git pull, you may encounter compiler warnings, errors, or unresolved symbols. We strive to keep the `master` branch free of critical errors; however, dependencies between objects can sometimes cause issues, requiring a full package recompilation rather than just updating recent changes. ## Contributing ### Software development We welcome contributions from the community to help make QLC+ even better. If you're working on something major, start a thread in the [Development Forum](https://www.qlcplus.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=12) first.
