# Installation
You can download complete binaries from the release tab.
## Development build
1. Download the repository
2. `npm install` to install dependencies
3. `npm start` to launch

### Startup Arguments
One can pass a `--headless` argument to start the server in headless mode. This will disable the GUI.
## Packaging
We've introduced a new packaging system. It is based on [electron-builder](https://www.electron.build/). This allows for easy packaging of the application for different platforms.
```bash
chmod +x ./build.sh
./build.sh
```

> Binary Builds may be faulty or non-working. They are not officially supported.
*Small disclaimer: Please do not use openCountdown for military or life-depending applications. Please also refrain from using openCountdown for launching rockets.*
