Everest Installation:

If you've updated Celeste or switched betas / branches, delete the orig directory where Celeste is installed.
Download latest build-XYZ.zip
- Latest build may be unstable, download at own risk.
- GitHub releases with stable Releases/Milestones (slower to update): link
Extract build-XYZ.zip to where Celeste is installed. Celeste.Mod.mm.dll should be right next to Celeste.exe
Run MiniInstaller.exe
- Linux / macOS users: Run mono MiniInstaller.exe

Mod Installation:

If it's missing, create a Mods directory where Celeste is.
Put the mod .zip into the Mods directory.
- For prototyping: Create a subdirectory, pretend it's a .zip
That's it.

Everest Devbuild Installation:

Copy files from inside lib into Celeste dir.
Copy built Celeste.Mod.mm.dll into Celeste dir.
Copy MiniInstaller.exe into Celeste dir.
Run MiniInstaller.exe

Mod Development:

Follow the installation instructions.
Use RainbowMod as an example mod. It already contains:
- The required references (lib/, lib-stripped/) with "Copy Local" set to "False"
- The mod metadata.yaml
