Setup Guide

How to setup danser!

1. Download the latest executable:

     Download the latest danser version HERE:

     Make sure it is the danser-x.y.z-os.zip where os is your OS version.

2. Extract the zip file:

     Once you have downloaded the zip file, go to your file browser of choice and extract it into a reasonable location (such as Documents or Desktop).

     After that your folder should look like this:

3. Open a command line application:

     Once danser is installed you will need to open a command line app in the folder you extracted it into.

     This can be done on windows by going to the folder, clicking the address bar, and entering powershell. As shown below:

4. Run danser for the first time:

     While you are in the command line, simply type ./danser -md5 0 and hit enter, danser will then generate a database with all of your osu! songs as well as a settings.json file, this is how your folder should look like now:

     If danser didn't make a danser.db file, than it means that your osu! directory is in an irregular folder, the fix is easy however, simply open the settings.json file and change the OsuSongsDir as well as the OsuSkinsDir variables to the folder of your osu! installation, in the section that looks like this:

"General": {
	"OsuSongsDir": "C:\\Users\\User\\AppData\\Local\\osu!\\Songs",
	"OsuSkinsDir": "C:\\Users\\User\\AppData\\Local\\osu!\\Skins",
	"DiscordPresenceOn": true,
	"UnpackOszFiles": true
},

     NOTE: Make sure to include the double backslashes \\, or else your danser will not run!

     After doing so, rerun ./danser -md5 0

5. Running your maps!

     Danser is now successfully set up!, to run your maps, use the command format of

./danser <arguments>

whilst you are in the command line!
