+TODO: can anyone make this fancier pls
 
-### Prerequisites:
-- [VSCode](https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/vscode-for-windows-7) or anything similar (optional but recommended)
-- [NodeJS 16](https://nodejs.org/dist/v16.20.2/node-v16.20.2-x64.msi) - Yes, it's outdated, we just didn't have the time to update the project to a more recent version.
-- [The special Electron](https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Electron-for-windows-7)
+### prerequisites:

+2. you open a terminal in vscode, and type the following commands
 
 ```npm i```
 
 ```$(npm bin)/electron-rebuild```
 
-3. To build this into an asar, you run this command
-
-```npx electron-builder```
-
-After that,
-
-- Go to dist > win-unpackaged > resources in your app's build.
-- Copy the .asar file you find there.
-- Paste it into the resources folder of the special Electron (replacing its existing .asar if needed).

-4. Testing a build without packaging into an asar (Windows 10+ only)
+(Windows 10+ users) To run, use the following command
 
 ```npm start```
 
-If you are wondering why you can only test this on windows 10 without packaging, it is because [electron added ESM support in electron 28](https://www.electronjs.org/blog/electron-28-0#highlights), not 22. RS Desktop uses ESM, not CommonJS.
-
-If you happen to be a windows 8.1 and under user, you can still test this, but you have to package it into an asar everytime, as seen in step 3.
