or follow the instructions below:

NOTE: Major Changes occurred in the v3.0 release. Make sure to read the release notes!

I am now creating executables with each release. Download the executable that goes with your operating system. After you unzip or untar the file:

On Windows launch gui.exe.

On Linux launch gui - you may first need to chmod 775 to make it executable.

Then click on the Settings button to fill in the fields there. If you wish to have your settings persist across version updates, click on Persist Settings. Otherwise, click save and exit the settings window. Open the tracker window and capture that window in OBS or XSplit. In the main GUI hit Run to grab your data for the first time. From there, use the text files it generates in OBS or XSplit.

Or follow the instructions below:

## Setup
First you should edit the values in participant.conf

Note:

- The values to the right of the : should be in quotation marks.
- if you're not in a team, the TeamID should be set to 'null' without quotation marks.

## To run

On Linux you should type:

python3 extralifedonations.py
If you find this useful, please consider donating to my [Extra Life campagin](http://extralife.ericmesa.com)

On Windows it's easiest to open extralifedonations.py in IDLE and then run the script from there. (This avoids any issues with python being in your path)
