Installation without git

If you're here you decided that you don't like to update everything with a single command and prefer to update manually every-single-time.

Why, though? Seriously there's still time to go back. Don't tell me that I didn't warn you.

Fine then. Whatever.

  • Once you installed the requirements, go in the main repo and click on "Download zip", top right button.

  • Download and unzip it

  • In case you haven't already, make a new account for Red and join your own server with it.

  • Enter the folder and run startRed.bat (or startRedLoop.bat for auto restart in case of error)

  • Follow the instructions. If you messed up the configuration process (way to go!), go into the json folder, delete settings.json and restart Red

Remember that you have to make a new role called "Transistor" (or whatever you specified during the configuration) and then assign yourself to it in order to use the admin commands.

That's it. For updates you can keep track of the repo or read #annoucements on the official server. And then you download the new files and replace them. Every single one.

Because that's what you get for not listening to me.
