I support adding this warning.
I'm not sure what's the best way to go about the quark though - installing a quark is a potentially complicated task (if git is not present; we don't handle that situation well currently, see https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/issues/3967, https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/issues/4283 and possibly other issues). I don't know if we have an alternative, but maybe others have ideas about this?
Maybe we can ask @adcxyz to add some installation instructions to his README? Something like:
If you have git: Quarks.install("SafetyNet")
If you don't have git:
- Download a ZIP from this page
- Extract to a folder
- Quarks.install("~/Downloads/SafetyNet")
I think it would be beginner friendlier to simply list git as a requirement (on osx it's an easy installation + there's plenty of tutorials) and describe how to install the quark through the GUI. e.g.:
1. install git
2. in the UI's top menu go to `Language > Quarks`, find the `SafetyNet` quark and click on the plus symbol. This should install the SafetyNet quark.
Hi, added instructions as suggested: https://github.com/adcxyz/SafetyNet/blob/master/README.md
Great @adcxyz, thanks!
You just have some little formatting things there, if you would like to make it look better:
##
and How to install
, otherwise the heading doesnt renderthanks @adcxyz !
After a request from users on the forum, here is a proposal for adding a warning for ear damage under macos downoad page, with recommendation to install the SafetyNet quark, and a link to Quarks installation instructions.
