## Requirements & limits

- Download the matching prebuilt binary for Linux, macOS or Windows on x86_64 or arm64, and supply local APK or DEX files. The latest release at the pinned commit is v0.1.5; core engine source is unavailable.
- The proprietary DexSQL Binary License 1.0 allows free use and verbatim redistribution of the unmodified archive but prohibits reverse engineering, modification and commercial redistribution of the binary. The installation skill, benchmark harness and documentation use the separate MIT LICENSE-AUXILIARY.
- Author benchmarks use a 372 MiB QQ 9.3.55 APK with 41 DEX files for eight code-location queries; DexDec’s warm reference cache is faster on repeated direct-caller lookups.
