Instruction on MacOs

In order to get Bitwig Performance Twister to run on MacOs, starting from zero, you should follow these steps. I am writing this to remind my self to get started on a new machine.

1. install MS Visual Code
2. install Homebrew. Don't forget to include brew in the path. Description for that is on the homepage of homebrew
3. use homebrew to install maven
4. install git, install gitHub Desktop
5. use gitHub desktop to clone Bitwig Performance Twister, when cloning it into the document folder, make sure that the documents folder is not synced with icloud. Check this in Apple system preferences under icloud
6. open the cloned folder in MS-Visual Code.
7. open a terminal in code and check the java version (java -version) and the Maven version (mvn -version)
8. in MS-Code, open the explorer, go down to MAVEN, open Bitwig Performance Twister and Lifecycle
9. Check the POM file, maybe the location where I copy the jar file to Bitwig might need to be adjusted
10. In the MAVEN area, see under 8. run the "install" lifecycle option
11. Add a shortcut in Bitwig to open the Controller Console. Use will use Command + K
12. Add a task to MS Visual code to run the maven install command. Then add a keyboard shortcut to run this task
