Installation Instructions

1. Download the MusicPlayer.jar file from the releases directory in the repository.

2. Create a directory in your computer to store the JAR file. When the app runs for the first time, it will create an img directory and a library.xml file to store song data in the directory where the JAR is located.

3. NOTE: THIS STEP IS ONLY NEEDED ON WINDOWS. Download the JIntellitype.dll file from the releases directory and place it in the directory created in Step 2. This file is required by the jintellitype library to enable media key functionality on keyboards. The app will not start properly if the JIntellitype.dll file is not in the same directory as the MusicPlayer.jar file.

4. Run the app by double-clicking the MusicPlayer.jar file.
