Autodarts-desktop is built with Avalonia. check it out: https://docs.avaloniaui.net/
INSTALL INSTRUCTION
Windows - Linux - MacOS
Download the appropiate file for your os in the release section. On Linux / MacOS you probably need to make it executable:
chmod +x autodarts-desktop
MacOS: By the time you need to disable os-app-verification:
sudo spctl --master-disable
Unfortunately I couldn't find a proper way without doing this.
Moreover make sure you do initial installation-steps for macos in case you want to use autodarts-client (https://docs.autodarts.io/getting-started/installation/)
Usage
Basics
Profiles representing different play-scenarios, whether you only want to use autodarts-caller or playing extern by using autodarts-extern. Every app in a profile can be marked for start by checking it. Apps that are mandantory for particular profile can't be unchecked. To start a selected profile use the dart-symbol next to profile selection. On profile-start the application will check every included app for existence, installs it or updates it if it isn't up-to-date. If an app needs configuration, autodarts-desktop will display a configuration window to organize that. Configuration is explained in the next section. To close a running app use the ecks-symbol. To see an apps output click the monitor-symbol that should appear after a short time since app-start. It shows full details of app events in realtime.
App-configuration
Some Apps have mandatory configuration fields to work properly. Those fields are highlighted by a red colored frame. You can also spot a mandatory field by asterik character (*) at the end of the particular field-name. To reset a field-value click on the rubber-symbol. For an extensive App explaintion and its configuration click the question mark-symbol in the upper-right corner. If your done filling out configuration fields just close the dialog window to save configuration. In case your app is still running, you need to close it first to apply current configuration.
