### Installation Directions [^1]

***Use***
  CurseForge/OverWolf App (currently does not install dependencies)  

  <a href="https://download.curseforge.com/"> <img src="https://www.overwolf.com/brand-guidelines/img/logo2.svg" alt="CurseForge/OverWolf App" width="15%" height="15%"></a>

I take no part, nor am I interested in maintaining the [CKAN][ckan:url] mod metadata for my mods. [CKAN][ckan:url] is a great mod for those that can't use zip tools. If you are having issues please let the [CKAN][ckan:url] people know and refer to the [CKAN][ckan:url] thread. My support of [CKAN][ckan:url] extends as far as me checking the checkbox in Spacedock when I upload. Beware, [CKAN][ckan:url] *can* really mess up though it tries very, very, very hard not to.
