ARCitect

The ARCitect is an electron-app to create, manage and share your ARCs.

:construction: Note, that the ARCitect is currently being developed and not ready for standard users, yet. :construction:

Installation

It is only necesary to download and run one of the provided standalone Releases for Windows (suffix: win.zip), MacOS (suffix: dmg), and Linux (suffix: AppImage). The releases do not require you to install any dependencies (except git for the MacOS and Linux releases). For Linux you might need to make the file executable:

Make the file executable on Linux

(A) with the user interface

right-click the file and select properties
go to the "permissions" tab and tick the field "execute"
now double-clicking the AppImage should start the ARCitect

(B) from the command line (you might need specific rights for this)

open a terminal
move to the directory where you have saved your AppImage (e.g. Downloads)
```
cd Downloads
```
make the file executable (use the appropriate name of the file)
```
chmod u+x ARCitect-0.0.15.AppImage
```
now double-clicking the AppImage should start the ARCitect
