After [downloading](https:\/\/github.com\/colececil\/the-floppy-disk-of-forbidden-creatures\/releases\/latest) the zip file that matches your operating system and CPU architecture, unzip it.

Open a terminal using either the \"Command Prompt\" app or \"PowerShell\" app.\n  2. Copy the path to the directory the game was unzipped to. In the terminal, type `cd`, then a space, then paste the path to the directory and press enter. For example, if the game was unzipped to `C:\\games\\summon`, the command would be `cd C:\\games\\summon`.\n  3. To run the game, type `.\\summon.exe` and press enter.\n- **macOS and Linux:**\n  1. Open a terminal using the \"Terminal\" app.\n  2. Copy the path to the directory the game was unzipped to. In the terminal, type `cd`, then a space, then paste the path to the directory and press enter. For example, if the game was unzipped to `\/home\/summon`, the command would be `cd \/home\/summon`.\n  3. To run the game, type `.\/summon` and press enter. (If you get a permission error, make sure the `summon` file has executable permissions. You can add this by running the command `chmod +x summon`.)\n\n## Technology Notes\n\nThis game was written in [Go](https:\/\/go.dev\/), using the [Bubble Tea](https:\/\/github.com\/charmbracelet\/bubbletea) framework.
