Linux

You are pretty much on your own - the way you like it! You can clone the code from the Sourceforge git repository. You can launch Pfaat with a java command that resembles this:

java -classpath "app/build/libs/*:app/libs/*" org.pfaat.gui.msa.Pfaat

Once your java command is working, you can add it to a script or alias.
