**Clicking "Download ZIP" will not work!** This project uses git submodules so you must use git to download it properly. Using [GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com/) is an easy way to do that.

**REMEMBER: Always make backups of your `maFiles` directory! If you lose your encryption key or delete `maFiles` by accident AND you didn't save your revocation code, you are screwed.**

If you did not follow the directions and did not write your revocation code down, you're well and truly screwed. The only option is beg to [Steam Support](https://support.steampowered.com/) and say you lost your mobile authenticator and the revocation code.

## Detailed setup instructions
- Download & Install [.NET Framework 4.7.2](https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/dotnet-framework-runtime/net472) if you're using Windows 7. Windows 8 and above should do this automatically for you.
- Download & Install [.NET 8](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0).
- Visit [the releases page](https://github.com/Jessecar96/SteamDesktopAuthenticator/releases) and download the latest .zip (not the source code one).
- Extract the files somewhere very safe on your computer. If you lose the files you can lose access to your Steam account.
- Run `Steam Desktop Authenticator.exe` and click the button to set up a new account.

## Building on linux
- First, you will need to install the `mono` and `monodevelop` packages, usually available from your standard package repository.
- Open monodevelop and select File -> Open. Navigate to the folder where you cloned this program to and open the file "Steam Desktop Authenticator/Steam Desktop Authenticator.sln"
- If you initialized submodules correctly, you should see two tree hirarchies on the left side of the screen, one labeled **SteamDesktopAuthenticator** and the other **SteamAuth**. (If you didn't, an error will be displayed; go update them!) For both of them, select "Packages", right click on "Newtonsoft.Json", and click update. Remember to do this for **both SteamDesktopAuthenticator and SteamAuth**
- Select Project->Active Configuration->Release (this will make this application run faster)
- Select Build->Build All. The package should now build successfully.
- The resulting executable and files will be in "Steam Desktop Authenticator/bin/Release"
