Installation

1. Install VA Smalltalk 9.2.1 or newer.
2. Install Tonel support in your development image following this guide.
3. Clone this repository.
4. The easiest and recommended approach is to install it via a script:

| loader path |
path := (CfsPath named: '<insert path to root retro-games-vast local repo here>').
loader := TonelLoader readFromPath: path.
loader
	beUnattended; "do not prompt and use all defaults"
	useGitVersion.
loader loadAllMapsWithRequiredMaps.

Or you can load the Configuration Map Retro Games from the context menu of the Configuration Maps Browser: "Import" -> "Load Configuration Maps from Tonel repository..." -> select path to root retro-games-vast local repo. This will open a dialog and will use convenient defaults for the load. Refer to its documentation for more details.
