How to install DFhack scripts?
« on: November 13, 2020, 05:01:52 pm »

I'm trying to install this http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=171742.0

But it's not working. How do I install it?

In theory, it should just be a matter of following the installation instructions in the enclosed "readme.txt" file.

However, given that the script was designed for version 0.44.12, it's possible that it might not be compatible with version 0.47.04.

Write a bit about what the problem is. Maybe then we can figure out what's going on.

Oh no, I figured it out.  I had to type the script's name in the command prompt.

I suppose you asked the wrong question, then - "installing" a script is copying it into the correct location on your filesystem, while typing the script's name is "running" it.
