It's Windows only.

That zip file contains a "portable" version of the Windows app (you
unzip it and run it from the unzipped directory, rather than
installing it using the setup.exe).

Running it on non-windows systems requires a windows emulator
(e.g. wine).

    How do I use PyScripter in Ubuntu?

    This how-to is based on the XFCE 4.8 desktop running on top of
    Ubuntu 11.04. The easiest way to get this configuration is to
    install Xubuntu. Or from any Ubuntu distribution one can install
    the XFCE meta package from Synaptic and choose XFCE from the boot
    manager at login.

    First, install Wine.
