About GitHub releases
The releases page contains the code and installation files for all development builds of Scratch Addons, as well as the mirror of the store builds.
Cloning the repository
This is the recommended way to install Scratch Addons for development purposes. This assumes you have Git installed.
To download the repository, simply clone https://github.com/ScratchAddons/ScratchAddons.git
.
$ git clone https://github.com/ScratchAddons/ScratchAddons.git
To update Scratch Addons, first cd
into its folder, and then run the following commands.
$ git fetch
$ git pull
This will update Scratch Addons and get it ready for code editing. Note that you will need to see the finish updating section here if you are using Google Chrome.
Downloading the zipball
If you don’t have Git installed, you can try this method instead. Note that you will need to manually repeat this process every time you want to update Scratch Addons.
