Setup

Once you have downloaded or cloned the ZSDN repository to your local machine, switch to its root directory and run the init-zsdn.sh script. You can do this by opening an console in this folder and type the following:

./init-zsdn.sh 

This starts the installation process of ZSDN which may take some time. When the installation was successful you may run also the build-modules.sh script at any time, which rebuilds the executables of selected and stores them to the /build directory. They can be used afterwards either by starting them manually via console oder by using our quick start tool.
