Installing this Fork

First, you need to download a copy of PoB from Openarls Github page here. You can use either the portable version or the .exe install for this to work.

To have your PoB refer this fork when updating you will need to change 1 line in the manifest.xml file in your PoB install directory.

The manifest.xml file is NOT in C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Path of Building

You have to manually change the line yourself by going to your C:\ProgramData\Path of Building folder if you used the original installer (.exe file) or if you installed the portable version (.zip file) go to the folder where you installed it. If you cannot see the "ProgramData" folder make sure you have hidden items turned on under the view tab.

The manifest file can have 2 different layouts.

Open the manifest.xml file in notepad (right-click and open with notepad or any text editor)

Layout 1:

If you manifest file looks similar to this. Search for the line (should be near line 4)

<Source part="program" url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Openarl/PathOfBuilding/{branch}/"/>

and change it to

<Source part="program" url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding/{branch}/"/>

Layout 2:

If you manifest file looks similar to this. Search for the line (should be near line 9)

<Source url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Openarl/PathOfBuilding/{branch}/" part="program"/>

and change it to

<Source url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding/{branch}/" part="program"/>

Save the manifest.xml file and open Path of Building. It should automatically start looking for an update and downloading all of the files from my version.

---

Your PoB will now always look at my version for any future updates unless you change the manifest.xml file or make a fresh install.
