Getting Started

Users

Go to the latest ISSIE release. Scroll down this page till at the bottom you find the Assets section - this has binaries for Windows and Macos and linux PCs. Download the appropriate one and unzip it anywhere (or add the dmg file to applications under Macos by double-clicking).

No installation is required - ISSIE runs from the unzipped files under windows if you double-click the top-level issie.exe file with the blue ISSIE chip icon. The Windows binaries are currently unsigned

Issie is designed to be intuitive with no manual required. Users will find the one page User Tutorial here is a useful introduction to Issie features. It can be skimmed quickly to see what is possible, or followed in detail for an easy introduction.

Creating binaries

It is possible for users to create their own binaries from source, if for example the latest release does not have an uploaded set of binaries. Binaries for a given platform can be created on that platform and run successfully without signing. Follow the steps in Getting Started.

Developers

See the Getting Started section of the repo README for how to develop Issie code.

Development is possible on Macos or Windows.
