Footnotes

  1. In the past we have had issues where not all packages install on the first go. Thus, it is recommended to run this at least twice.

  2. Ensure that the Satellite/ and Terrain/ FOLDER contains subfolders 1/ to 18/ and not another folder called Satellite/Terrain. If this happens move the inner folder into the build/ folder instead.

  3. Although not an important step it is highly recommended due to its monospace nature and most of the formatting in this software utilizes it heavily.
