Installing Platinum Arts Sandbox
This article explains how to install Platinum Arts Sandbox
Contents
Obtaining Sandbox
You will first have to download the latest release from our forums.
Installing the Windows version
When you click on the downloaded file it will ask you where you want to install Sandbox. If you click the three dots to the right you can browse your computer and select where you'd like to place sandbox. After you are satisfied with where it is to install hit extract. The sandbox folder will then be created where you chose to install it. Locate the folder and enter it. Click on the file that says "(clickheretostart)" and it should launch. To launch the carts click on the file that says "cartmode".
Installing the multi-platform version
The multi-platform version works on Windows, Linux and Mac.
Linux
To do a system wide install, simply extract the zip into it's own folder, and navigate to it with the command line. if it's on your Desktop in a directory named sandbox, type cd Desktop/sandbox, as an example. from there, cd to the src directory, and type sudo make distinstall.
Note, it'll give an error if /usr/local/sandbox exists, in which case, run sudo make distclean to get rid of that. your settings are still saved, as they'll save in ~/.platinumarts.
After it compiles the binaries, it'll copy everything over to /usr/local/sandbox, and create some /usr/bin/ symlinks, so you can just type sandbox into whatever command line you want, to launch Sandbox!
This method should also work with FreeBSD, but gmake will have to be used.
OSX
We'll leave it to you, chances are you'll want to put it in the applications, but first, before you do that, you'll have to compile your own binaries untill we can provide them for.
