OpenSCAD

Install using Git

1. Clone the OpenSCAD repository:

   git clone https://github.com/dracula/openscad.git
   

2. Move into the cloned repository:

   Linux & Mac:

   cd ./openscad
   

   Windows

   Set-Location -Path ".\openscad"
   

3. Create the directories OpenSCAD/color-schemes/editor and OpenSCAD/color-schemes/render in the application's config directory if they do not exist.

   Linux:

   mkdir -p $HOME/.config/OpenSCAD/color-schemes/editor $HOME/.config/OpenSCAD/color-schemes/render
   

   Mac:

   mkdir -p $HOME/Library/Application Support/OpenSCAD/color-schemes/editor $HOME/Library/Application Support/OpenSCAD/color-schemes/render
   

   Windows:

   New-Item -Path "C:\Documents and Settings\$env:username\Local Settings\Application Data\OpenSCAD\color-schemes\editor" -ItemType Directory
   New-Item -Path "C:\Documents and Settings\$env:username\Local Settings\Application Data\OpenSCAD\color-schemes\render" -ItemType Directory
   

4. Finally, create two symbolic links from the local repository to OpenSCAD’s editor and render folders:

   Linux:

   ln -s $PWD/dracula.json $HOME/.config/OpenSCAD/color-schemes/editor
   ln -s $PWD/transylvania.json $HOME/.config/OpenSCAD/color-schemes/render
   

   Mac:

   ln -s $PWD/dracula.json $HOME/Library/Application Support/OpenSCAD/color-schemes/editor
   ln -s $PWD/transylvania.json $HOME/Library/Application Support/OpenSCAD/color-schemes/render
   

   Windows:

   New-Item -Path "$pwd\dracula.json" -ItemType SymbolicLink -Value "C:\Documents and Settings\$env:username\Local Settings\Application Data\OpenSCAD\color-schemes\editor"
   New-Item -Path "$pwd\transylvania.json" -ItemType SymbolicLink -Value "C:\Documents and Settings\$env:username\Local Settings\Application Data\OpenSCAD\color-schemes\render"

2. Linux: Create the directories OpenSCAD/color-schemes/editor and OpenSCAD/color-schemes/render if it does not exist in $HOME/.config/.
