-
Install the
descent3package, or start an ephemeral shell with thedescent3package. -
Find the documentation folder for
descent3-unwrappedby running this command:nix-instantiate --eval --expr '(import <nixpkgs> { }).descent3-unwrapped + "/share/doc/Descent3"' -
Open
<descent3-unwrapped-doc-folder>/USAGE.md. -
Follow steps 1–6 of Descent 3’s usage instructions.
-
Change directory into the
D3-open-sourcefolder:
cd <path-to-D3-open-source>
-
Start Descent 3 by running this command:
