## How to install

Just download the latest release from [here](https://github.com/adam-drewery/EliteAssist/tags).

Remember to mark the file as executable: `chmod +x`.

## Requirements

You need [Elite:Dangerous](https://store.steampowered.com/app/359320/Elite_Dangerous/) installed via steam. The application expects the default `.steam` symlink in your home directory.

## Current limitations

- Currently the market screen only updates when you open the market in game. So... not so useful yet.

- Some journal events aren't handled yet. In particular the fleet carrier and colonization stuff.

- The UI is tested at 1920x1080 resolution and won't look so good much smaller than that.
