Getting Started

Recommended

Direct download is currently the recommended way of using WTQ v2, due to it receiving updates the soonest.

  • Go to the GitHub Releases page for a recent build;
  • Download the desired version:
    • Self Contained builds are larger, but don't require any dependencies;
    • Framework Dependent builds are smaller, but require the .Net 8 runtime to be installed.
  • Extract the archive;
  • Launch wtq.exe to start the program;
  • Edit wtq.jsonc, which contains the configuration.
