Polychromatic on its own is just a frontend, it currently needs OpenRazer installed to provide the actual communication with the hardware. Both projects only run on Linux distributions.
Instructions for each supported Linux distro are provided on the website:
Installing packages from a software repository is recommended as this will keep the software up-to-date, and your package system will keep track of dependencies.
Occasionally, issues are caused by an improper OpenRazer driver installation. Polychromatic includes a troubleshooter to identify common problems. See our FAQs on OpenRazer if your device is not showing up or shows an error when changing settings.
