If you're on windows, you want to get to the "command prompt". The terminal in other operating systems. Search and read online if you don't know what that is. Then you navigate to the directory where you put the BYO code. Your file to convert should also be placed in that directory, saved as 'image.png' -- so you need to have the right format. Technically, the system can handle any file format but for ease-of-use I hardwired it to 'image.png' If you want to change that, look at the contents of the makefile to see how it works. To do a build of the system type 'make' without the quotes, from the command prompt. If it can't find 'make' then you will need to install that on your system. Again, search. The system is automatic, but you do need to have your system with 'make' available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the first step to understanding how your computer works under the hood. I'd suggest at this point finding some tutorials on that (using a command line). It will be useful to you at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 i stayed up all night and i couldnt figure out the proper input codes, can someone make an information tutorial video for me i really think once i learn the right symbols to type i could actually do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Karl G Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 If you send a screenshot of your command prompt where you are stuck, then maybe one of us could walk you through where you are having issues. If you downloaded the byo.zip and extracted it from the default Downloads directory, you would probably type: cd downloads\byo ...from the command prompt, and hit enter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
