## Installation
If you are new to vvvv, download it over at www.visualprogramming.net. These patches are optimized for the upcoming 6.0 release.
Afterwards, click on the little gray icon in the top left corner (the so-called Quad Menu), navigate to "Manage Nugets > Commandline" and type the following:
```
nuget install VL.TheBigBang
```
When the package is successfully installed, hit F1 to open the Help Browser and scroll to the section called "TheBigBang". Have fun and let me know if there are questions or problems by opening an issue on GitHub!
