How to install

Just download the latest release from here.

Remember to mark the file as executable: chmod +x.

Requirements

You need Elite:Dangerous installed via steam. The application expects the default .steam symlink in your home directory.

Current limitations

• Currently the market screen only updates when you open the market in game. So... not so useful yet.
• Some journal events aren't handled yet. In particular the fleet carrier and colonization stuff.
• The UI is tested at 1920x1080 resolution and won't look so good much smaller than that.
