## Rewrite
Computer resources are not an all-you-can-eat buffet. The executables weigh on average 103 MB.
That's why in the future, this project is fully switching to a different toolset. With a preference to something that uses Rust as its language.
A lighter, more low-level framework would be more suited than Electron.
## Download
> [!NOTE]
> In the future, SteamDepotDownloaderGUI will use the newer, OS-specific builds of DepotDownloader, which no longer needs .NET to be installed before-hand.
.NET is a confusing system. If you are having trouble try uninstalling every .NET version on your computer, and then downloading the ones provided.
### Windows:
* If you haven't already, install **[.NET SDK 6](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0)** on your computer.
Then, download the [latest Windows build](https://github.com/mmvanheusden/SteamDepotDownloaderGUI/releases/latest)
### **Linux:**
You'll need .NET SDK, and unzip. Also any of the following terminals (you most likely already have at least one of these):
`gnome-terminal` / `konsole` / `xfce4-terminal` / `cool-retro-term`😎 / `terminator` /
`terminology` / `xterm` / `kitty` / `lxterminal` / `tilix` / `deepin-terminal`
#### Arch Linux:
> [!WARNING]
> **I do not have control over the AUR package!!**
* There is an [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/steamdepotdownloadergui-bin) that someone made. this can be installed using `yay -S steamdepotdownloadergui-bin`.
#### Other Linux distros:
**You'll need `unzip`, and .NET SDK 6.**
* **Debian-based Linux distributions:**
`sudo apt install unzip dotnet-sdk-6.0`
* **Fedora:**
`sudo dnf install unzip dotnet-sdk-6.0`
There are several options, AppImage, and a `.zip`, for both x64 and arm64.
