Build Status

Build status

Installation

You can install the latest version of Carnac via Chocolatey:

cinst carnac

Alternatively, you can grab the latest zip file from here, unpack it and run Setup.exe.

Note: Carnac requires .NET 4.5.2 to work - you can install that from here if you don't have it already.

Updating

We use Squirrel.Windows to update your carnac application.

The application will check for updates in the background, if a new version has been released, it will automatically install the new version and once you restart carnac you will be up-to-date.

Usage

Enabling silent mode

If you want to stop Carnac from recording certain key strokes, you can enter silent mode by pressing Ctrl+Alt+P. To exit silent mode you simply press Ctrl+Alt+P again.

Contributing

Getting started with Git and GitHub

Once you're familiar with Git and GitHub, clone the repository and run the .\build.cmd script to compile the code and run all the unit tests. You can use this script to test your changes quickly.
