== AddOn Studio == | |||
In [[AddOn Studio]], [[WoWBench]] comes already installed and ready to run using the built in [[Lua Console]]. | |||
Starting WoWBench in AddOn Studio: | |||
* Start AddOn Studio | |||
* Click on 'View > Lua Console' in the main menu | |||
* Find the 'Lua Console' tool window drop down that says 'Choose Shell...' and open | |||
* Click either 'WoW Bench' or 'WoW Bench with AddOn' | |||
* WoWBench will start in the console | |||
* Clicking the button again will restart WoWBench with a fresh WoWBench session | |||
Launch options: | |||
* WoW Bench - starts a plain WoWBench session | |||
* WoW Bench with AddOn - starts a WoWBench session that also loads the AddOn of the currently selected project | |||
Other options: | |||
* Lua prompt - loads a plain Lua command console, also modified to work like the Lua version in WoW, but with no code or bench environment | |||
* Cmd prompt - opens a Windows 'cmd.exe' console in the AddOn Studio WoWBench directory. This allows running other WoWBench scripts, managaing files, or using other WoWBench options to start. This would be a very advanced option, and in the context of AddOn Studio, not normally necessary. But may allow to follow trying old options elsewhere in this documentation. | |||
Only one console may be open at a time in the 'Lua Console'. Starting a new console session effectively ends the last one. | |||
== Windows / Linux installation == | |||
* Unzip the contents of the zip into a directory. Probably ''nowhere near'' your World of Warcraft directory. It is ''not'' an AddOn! Remember to conserve the directory structure in the zip. | |||
: Below, we will assume you put it in: | |||
C:/wowbench | |||
* If you are not running under Win32: Download Lua binaries from [//luabinaries.luaforge.net luabinaries.luaforge.net] | |||
: Make sure you get version 5.1.x, as this similar to what WoW uses | |||
* Copy 'config-dist.lua' to 'config.lua'. | |||
At this point, you have a working WoWBench, without access to your already-installed addons nor to your configuration files. | At this point, you have a working WoWBench, without access to your already-installed addons nor to your configuration files. | ||

:2. Edit 'config-dist.lua' to point to your existing WoW directory, player name, etc. It is fairly self-documenting. | |||
