Getting Started

WTQ v2

These parts are still in development, mind the gaps!

Recommended

Direct download is currently the recommended way of using WTQ v2, due to the other methods not automatically updating yet.

  • Go to the GitHub Releases page for a recent build;
  • Download the desired version:
    • Self Contained builds are larger, but don't require any dependencies;
    • Framework Dependent builds are smaller, but require the .Net 8 runtime to be installed.
  • Extract the archive;
  • Launch wtq.exe to start the program;
  • Edit wtq.jsonc, which contains the configuration.
