 ## Installation
 You can download a nightly build below, or the [latest release](https://github.com/OpenStarbound/OpenStarbound/releases/latest). At the moment, you must copy the game assets (**packed.pak**) from your normal Starbound install to the OpenStarbound assets directory before playing.
 
-An installer is available for Windows. otherwise, extract the client/server zip for your platform and copy the game assets (packed.pak) to the OpenStarbound assets folder. the macOS releases currently lack the sbinit.config and folder structure that the Linux & Windows zips have, so you'll need to create those before running them.

For macOS releases, it is recommended to build them from source (See guide below).

+* First, you will need to have brew install. Check out how to install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/)
+* Next, install vcpkg.
+ * Run ` cd ~`. This is just so that everything is local to here. 
+ * Run ` git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git `
+ * Run `cd vcpkg && ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh`
+ * Lastly, run ``` export VCPKG_ROOT=~/vcpkg
+export PATH=$VCPKG_ROOT:$PATH ```
+ * This last command makes vcpkg added to the current terminal path. This lasts only while the terminal is only, and will have to be rerun.
+* Install cmake using `brew install cmake`
+* Install ninja using `brew install ninja`
+* Download the source code [here](https://github.com/OpenStarbound/OpenStarbound/archive/refs/heads/main.zip). This is the current code in main. Unpack the code to your downloads folder. 
+* Unpack the zip, and open it up. Navigate to OpenStarbound-main/source using the terminal -> `cd ~/Downloads/OpenStarbound-main`. Then navigate to the source folder, using `cd source`.

+ * While in the source folder in your terminal, run ` cmake --preset macos-arm-release `. This will get dependencies.
+ * After that command has finished, run ` cmake --build --preset macos-arm-release `. Wait for this to finish, then go to Finder. Navigate to the OpenStarbound-main folder using Finder. 
+ * There will be a folder called <b>dist</b>. Inside dist will be your game files, but you still need to do a few more things to run it.
+ * First, in the OpenStarbound-main folder, there will be lib. Open lib, and open the osx folder. Inside is libsteam_api.dylib. Copy this file, and paste it into OpenStarbound-main/dist, so that it is in the same directory as the game files. 
+ * Navigate back to OpenStarbound-main/lib/osx, and open up the folder arm64. Here, rename libdiscord_game_sdk.dylib to discord_game_sdk.dylib. The name must be that, or else the game won't be able to load. 
+ * You can now run the game. If it says unverified developer, open up the same folder where the game is in in the terminal. ` xattr -d com.apple.quarantine starbound `, which will get rid of the lock on the file. If that doesn't work, run ` sudo spctl --master-disable ` to allow all unverified apps.
