Step 1 - Download Squiso

Start by downloading the Squiso zip file down to your computer. Please note that it is pretty large - around 250MB - since it includes everything you need out of the box to get started.

Step 2 - Unzip Squiso

Once the zip archive is downloaded, extract it to any folder of your choice.

If you are on Windows, you should be able to right click on the zip archive and select "Extract All...".

Step 3 - Start Squiso

To start Squiso, simply double click on Squiso.bat.

This will open up the Squiso GUI client.

Step 4 - Create Your First Script

Start by clicking on "Create New Script" in the top left corner.

Enter a script name.

You have now created your first script.

Step 5 - Write Your First Script

Squiso is built using the Java programming language. If you're new to programming, don't worry! Squiso is designed to be as beginner-friendly as possible. In fact, this could be a great opportunity to learn some basic software development skills!

There are many examples you can look at for inspiration, and you can even copy and paste code from them to get started quickly.

If you would like a detailed overview of all the available methods (things Squiso can do), please take a look at the API documentation.

Step 6 - Run Your Script

When you have written your script, you need to compile and load it by pressing the "Reload Scripts" button.

If your script has no problems you should see that everything was compiled and loaded successfully.

If there are any errors, the program will crash and provide an error message (in Java's typical format). It usually indicates the exact location of the error too.
