However, these version may be older so thatbuilding from the source is often also a good choice. Someknowledge on how to compile and install software is required.

- Pinentry is a collection of passphrase entry dialogs which isrequired for almost all usages of GnuPG.
- GPGME is the standard library to access GnuPG functions fromprogramming languages.
- Scute is a PKCS#11 provider on top of GnuPG.
- GPA is a graphical frontend to GnuPG.
- GnuPG 1.4 is the old, single binary version which still supportthe unsafe PGP-2 keys. This branch has no dependencies on theabove listed libraries or the Pinentry. However, it lacks manymodern features and will receive only important updates.
