Installation

Download the latest version Dado-Application-[x.y.z].zip from the releases tab.

Important! Unblock this zip file before extracting by editing the file properties and clicking "unblock"

The contents of the zip archive is a single folder named Dado. Extract and copy this folder to any convenient place. Note the location; add this path to the user command source folders in your APL session configuration.

If you already have a convenient folder that is in your list of user command source folders, you may just drop the Dado folder in there.

To update an existing installation, simply copy/paste over the existing folder.

If you are in the habit of saving your session file, then Dado may have a stale copy in ⎕SE that prevents the loading of the new version. If this is the case, simply )erase ⎕SE.Dado ⎕SE.zApps and save your session file again.

Installation Dependencies

Dado assumes you have a GitHub account and that you have a git client installed that knows your username and password. One of the easiest ways to get this is to install GitHub Desktop.

Alternatively the minimum Git command line tools may be installed.

In order to produce GitHub releases from your desktop, you will also need a GitHub personal access token, which you should be able to get here:

https://github.com/settings/tokens

This 49 character code should be placed in a text file named GitHubToken.txt. Then place this file in your library folder (the parent or grandparent of your project folder). Do not place this file in a project folder.
