How do I get started?

On the top of this webpage you'll find "Download" buttons, click to download and install it.

Where are the non-Windows builds/installers?!?

If you aren't on Windows, you'll have to compile it.
Don't worry, it's litreally just 5 commands.
One to install the dependencies and the other to compile XAVA.
Just follow the compilation guide on the readme of this repository.

Can I change how the visualizer behaves?

Yes, just follow the configuration guide.

HELP, it doesn't work/compile or something's broken!

Sorry to hear that, but you may have to find out that by yourself.
You should check if you had missed anything in the README. Also make sure that your configuration/system is even supported.

If your troubleshooting skills have lead you nowhere, please check out the issues page if somebody had encountered the same problem, otherwise file an issue and make sure the problem is described in detail otherwise it will get discarded immediately (I have a life, you know)

My system/configuration is not supported.

Create an issue and describe what is it you want to get supported and in detail. I will reject lazily-written features requests. Also expect that your feature request gets delayed or simply denied for any reason.

How do I contribute?

Follow the contibution guide
