   Instructions for systems for which I have a PC and an operating   
   environment where I can verify correct functioning:   
      
   ### Debian/Ubuntu   
      
   ```bash   
   # Install dependencies   
   sudo apt-get update   
   sudo apt-get install golang libx11-dev git   
      
   # Clone repository   
   git clone git@github.com:gabrix73/gensecpass.git   
   cd gensecpass   
      
   # Install Go dependencies   
   go mod download   
      
   # Build   
   go build -v -o gensecpass gensecpass.go   
      
   # Optional: Install to system   
   sudo cp gensecpass /usr/local/bin/   
   ```   
      
   ### Arch Linux   
      
   ```bash   
   # Install dependencies   
   sudo pacman -S go libx11 git   
      
   # Clone repository   
   git clone git@github.com:gabrix73/gensecpass.git   
   cd gensecpass   
      
   # Install Go dependencies   
   go mod download   
      
   # Build   
   go build -v -o gensecpass gensecpass.go   
      
   # Optional: Install to system   
   sudo cp gensecpass /usr/local/bin/   
   ```   
      
   ### Windows (Cross-Compilation from Linux)   
      
   ```bash   
   # Install MinGW cross-compiler   
   # On Debian/Ubuntu:   
   sudo apt-get install mingw-w64   
      
   # On Arch Linux:   
   sudo pacman -S mingw-w64-gcc   
      
   # Clone repository   
   git clone git@github.com:gabrix73/gensecpass.git   
   cd gensecpass   
      
   # Install Go dependencies   
   go mod download   
      
   # Cross-compile for Windows   
   CGO_ENABLED=1 GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc go   
   build -v -o gensecpass.exe gensecpass.go   
   ```   
      
   **Note for Windows**: The X11 mouse entropy collection requires an X   
   server (like VcXsrv or Xming) running on Windows, or use WSL2 with X11   
   forwarding.   
      
   And,   
      
   ## Troubleshooting   
      
   ### "Cannot open X11 display"   
      
   **Cause**: DISPLAY environment variable not set or X11 not running.   
      
   **Solution**:   
   ```bash   
   # Check DISPLAY variable   
   echo $DISPLAY   
      
   # If empty, set it (usually :0 or :1)   
   export DISPLAY=:0   
      
   # Verify X11 is running   
   xdpyinfo | grep "name of display"   
   ```   
      
   ### "Permission denied" on mouse device   
      
   **Cause**: User not in `input` group (if using device raw access).   
      
   **Solution**: Not applicable for X11 version (no device access needed).   
      
   ### Slow entropy collection   
      
   **Cause**: Insufficient mouse movement or slow movement patterns.   
      
   **Solution**: Move mouse in varied patterns (circles, zigzags, random   
   movements).   
      
   ### "Failed to decrypt"   
      
   **Cause**: Wrong passphrase or corrupted file.   
      
   **Solution**: Verify passphrase and check file SHA-256 fingerprint.   
      
   Merci
