Installation ------------ No real need for installation, just extract the Chatty_*.zip file into a folder and start the Chatty.jar with Java. Starting Chatty --------------- You may be able to just double-click the Chatty.jar. If it asks you to select a program to open it with, choose Java. You can also create a shortcut to start Chatty, when creating the shortcut use: javaw -jar "<Path to Chatty.jar>" For example: javaw -jar "C:\Program Files (x86)\Chatty\Chatty.jar" This also allows you to add launch options, for example defining the channel to join: javaw -jar "C:\Program Files (x86)\Chatty\Chatty.jar" -channel twitch If you create a shortcut like this, make sure you set the working directory correctly (specified in a field labeled "Run in" or similar). This can be important for some features. You may also need to specify the full path to Java if just "javaw -jar" doesn't work: C:\Windows\System32\javaw.exe -jar "C:\Program Files (x86)\Chatty\Chatty.jar" Or to use a specific JRE: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_261\bin\javaw.exe -jar "<Path to Chatty.jar>" Settings -------- Settings are saved in a ".chatty" subfolder of your user directory by default. You can find out where the settings are saved to by entering "/dir" in Chatty. You can change this location to your current working directory by using the "-cd" launch option, to a specified directory by using the "-d <dir>" launch option (the dir has to exist already) or to a directory located next to the Chatty.jar by using the "-portable" launch option. Logfile ------- There is a /debuglogs subdirectory in the settings directory which contains a number of different debug logs. There is more information on them in the help. More Help --------- There is more help available in Chatty under <Help - About/Help> and online on the Chatty website as mentioned at the beginning of this file. Licence ------- Chatty is released under the GPLv3. See the in-app help and the GitHub repository for more detailed information.
