HELP ADD OR UPDATE AN APP

(For the website admin. No typing, no terminal, no Python.)

WHAT YOU HAVE
In one folder on the Windows 11 machine you will find:
LumaticBuild.exe <- the program you double-click
help.html <- the help-hub page
several *_Docs folders <- one per app (e.g. LUT_Evaluator_Docs)

TO ADD A NEW APP

  1. Copy the new app’s documentation folder (its name ends in _Docs)
    into this same folder, next to LumaticBuild.exe.
  2. Double-click LumaticBuild.exe
  3. Wait for it to say ALL DONE – BUILD PASSED.
  4. Open the upload_ready folder it created.
  5. Upload everything inside upload_ready to the website, replacing
    the old files.
    Done. The new app now appears in the help search.

TO UPDATE AN APP
Replace its _Docs folder with the new version, then do steps 2 to 5.

IF IT SAYS “STOPPED”
Read the “What to do” lines on screen – they name the fix in plain
English. If it tells you to contact the developer, send them these two
files from this folder:
BUILD_REPORT.txt
build_log_details.txt

IMPORTANT

  • Keep LumaticBuild.exe, help.html and the _Docs folders together.
  • You never edit any file by hand. Only copy folders in, and upload out.
