      Hello all,

      I know this is not really the perfect place to ask for help with this but I don't really know where else to ask.

      https://github.com/andresdelcampo/GameList_Editor

      Can someone here help me learn how build this repo to where I can actually use the program. (I am on a windows pc).

      Thank you all for any guidance you can give. I just know nothing about this subject and don't really even know where to ask (I left a request for help in the "issues" of the project but didn't get a response)

      Thank you all again and I apologize if this kind of request is not ok.

        @wtstreetglow1 ?"where I actually use the program"? If you just want to use it, then why you don't use the provided windows executable from the projects release page?

          @Ashpool I believe you are looking at the original project which was forked to the below:

          The fork is the one I would like to use because it has been updated to work properly. (The one by "Neebe" that you were looking at I believe, is essentially deprecated)

          andresdelcampo forked it and fixed it essentially.

              @sleve_mcdichael Thank you so much. I'm not very familiar with github at all. Thank you for sending me that link. I went back to the repo and now I see how to get to that. (I didn't notice the releases area off to the right.

              Thank you so much @sleve_mcdichael Very thankful to you.
