Install Guide

Retrocore currently supports two setup paths on Windows.

Option 1: Guided setup

Use the guided installer if you want Python detection, an optional Python install via winget, and a retrocore command added to your user PATH.

.\install_dependencies.ps1

Or:

install_dependencies.bat

The guided flow can:

  • detect Python 3
  • install Python 3.11 with winget if Python is missing
  • create a user-level command shim at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Retrocore\bin\retrocore.cmd
  • add that shim directory to your user PATH
  • run a quick retrocore status check at the end
  • work against Windows Terminal settings files that contain comments or trailing commas

Important:

  • The shim points at the current project folder
  • if you move the project folder later, rerun the installer
  • PATH changes usually require a new terminal window

Option 2: No install, project-local use

You can also run Retrocore directly from the project folder without setting up a global command:

.\retrocore.cmd status
.\retrocore.cmd preset list
.\retrocore.cmd on
