How to use release

1. Unzip folder
2. Open folder in VSCode
3. Open Terminal inside VSCode -> Use Command Prompt or Git Bash
4. Run the following
   • npm install -> Doesn't work? Install Node
   • mkdir assets -> Creates a folder called assets
   • cd assets -> Goes inside the assets folder
   • type nul > link.txt -> Creates an empty file called link.txt
   • type nul > discord.txt -> Creates an empty file called discord.txt
5. Open link.txt and enter your back-end server -> Don't have one? Get one here

7. Go to the Run and Debug tab in VSCode and make sure that Run Extension is present
   • If it doesn't appear, go to .vscode and open launch.json.
   • Ensure launch.json has this code:

{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
 {
  "name": "Run Extension",
  "type": "extensionHost",
  "request": "launch",
  "args": [
   "--extensionDevelopmentPath=${workspaceFolder}"
  ],
  "outFiles": [
   "${workspaceFolder}/dist/**/*.js"
  ],
  "preLaunchTask": "${defaultBuildTask}"
 }
]
}

8. Before running, put << in the filter so it only shows the extension
9. A successful run should show no read text.

12. Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or click the top search bar than press >) and type Extensions: Install From VSIX
13. Open the .vsix file
14. Enjoy your very own Dis.Track Extension
