## Installation

### Standalone

```smalltalk

Metacello new

	baseline: 'CtAppFramework';

	repository: 'github://LinqLover/squeak-appframework:main';

	get; "for updates"

	load.

```

### As a Metacello Dependency

```smalltalk

spec

	baseline: 'CtAppFramework' with:

		[spec repository: 'github://LinqLover/squeak-appframework:main'].

"..."

spec group: #recommended with: #('CtAppFramework').

spec group: #withRecommended with: #(default recommended).

```

---

After installation, you need to hide and show the world main docking bar again (via yellow-click into the world > `show main docking bar`) to include the new update item into the main menu.

## Update Apps

In the world main docking bar, open the main menu (Squeak icon) and click on `Update apps...`.

## Framework

To participate in the framework, override at least `#selfUpdate` or `#githubRepositoryParams` in the main class in your project. To use the provided app menu, send `#appMenu:` to your app class. See the comment in [`CtAppFramework`](./packages/CtAppFramework/CtAppFramework.class.st) for more details.
