Installing SpinCAD designer

[RobinMallard]

Hey everyone, I moved computers and was looking to install SpinCAD designer. I cloned the git repo, but I can't seem to find the .jar file (even when searching for jar files in the git web interface). I feel like I must be blind and I'm missing something obvious - any help would be appreciated!

If you clone it the releases are not cloned I guess.

Ahh, I see it now, thank you! I also now see that specified in the instructions, so, I'm just hard of seeing apparently.

In case it's of interest to anyone, I followed this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4805123?sortBy=best) to create an Automator app for MacOS so I can launch SpinCAD from the Launchpad, which makes things very convenient!

TBH, I just copied the file from GitHub to my MacBook Pro desktop, CMD-click, selected "Open" and then "OK". Now it runs whenever I dbl-click it. Just need to make the Oracle Java Runtime is installed.

Yup, that’s the usual way to do it, but I happened down an unnecessary rabbit hole
