This article is a guide about how to set up PCtyx. You will need to read PCtyx’s official documentation later.

Getting PCtyx binaries on GitHub

1. Go to PCtyx's repository on GitHub.

2. Look at the right sidebar, click on Releases.

3. Carefully read the release note to choose a suitable version for your usage.

4. On Assets, choose the zipped file depending on your current operating system (OS) and architecture.

5. Check your file again, the file will look like this: pctyxeditor_<version>_<OS><architecture>.zip. Example: pctyxeditor_300a03_win64.zip (means version: 300a03, OS: Windows, Architecture: x64).

6. Extract the downloaded file somewhere you want to.

Running PCtyx

3. Right-click pctyxeditor.app and select Show Package Contents.

4. Copy PCtyx's Contents/Resources folder.
