## Download

There are several ways to use the scripts, a recommended method is to install

them in Adobe installation paths so that they may appear in

`Menubar > File > Scripts`.

In any case, download the source code and pick one of the following solutions.

### Automatic Installation

![macOS installation.](https://github.com/hanggrian/prepress-adobe-scripts/raw/assets/install.png)

Run `install.bat` as admin (Windows) or `install.sh` with sudo (macOS).

### Manual Installation

Copy certain files and directories from this repository to your local Adobe

installation paths, usually *Applications* in macOS and *Program Files* in

Windows.

#### Illustrator

From | To

--- | ---

Content of [Illustrator Scripts] | `$APP_DIR`/Presets/`$LOCALE_CODE`/Scripts/

[.stdlib] and [.stdres] | `$APP_DIR`/Presets/`$LOCALE_CODE`/

#### Photoshop

From | To

--- | ---

Content of [Photoshop Scripts] | `$APP_DIR`/Presets/Scripts/

[.stdlib] and [.stdres] | `$APP_DIR`/Presets/

> In macOS, make sure to show all hidden files in Finder.

### No Installation

It is possible to use the scripts by drag-and-dropping JSX files directly to

Adobe apps. Just make sure to keep the entirety of root folder instead of only

`Illustrator Scripts` or `Photoshop Scripts` folders.

This is because the scripts are **not standalone**, all of them require hidden

directories to be in pre-determined locations.
