Download ROSI source code from source (main)

2. Unzip the folder folder, place it in a good location on your computer.
3. Install NodeJS and NPM (Required to build ROSI).
4. Run npm i --save-dev to download the required electron packages.
5. View the package.json file to see the npm run build commands available.

There is an LTS version of the previous stable full release of ROSI (which is now v1.x.x) which can be found at ➡️ROSI-LTS's Repo

This is mainly for people who perfered the previous look of ROSI, or has a current issue with a newly released major version.

The LTS version only provides yt-dlp updates and minor bug fixes. No feature additions will happen with LTS versions. Whatever features were added to that version before it became LTS are the last features it will receive.

If there is an issue with the program, feel free to create a Github Issue!
