Since this program is designed to mitigate a lock-up, the codebase is as small as possible. This means that compilation is simple and requires few dependencies. Original compilation was done on Fedora, and proceedes as follows.

Please note that using any other compiler (e.g. Visual Studio ) should
still be very simple if you are familiar with the .NET Framework.

Install Mono C# :
$ sudo dnf -y install mono-devel

Once installed, you can clone the repo.
$ git clone https://github.com/DUDEX64/Freeze-No-More.git

Compilation should be straight forward
$ cd Freeze-No-More; make
