Start Guide
There are currently different versions of DF Storyteller. This page will help you pick the right version for you.
Database
At the heart ❤️ of DF Storyteller is a database. We currently support 2 different databases.
- SQLite: (default) This is a powerful (open source) database that is smaller then Postgres, it has most of the same capabilities as Postgres. If your pc is low on RAM you might want to use SQLite.
- Postgres: This is a very powerful (open source) database that runs as a separate application on your pc. It is the faster then SQLite, but might use more resources on your pc.
If you want to get the most reliability and want to get more advanced later on we advice you to use Postgres.
OS
You probably know what operating system you are using. But here is some more info about your system.
- Windows: It works (most of the time). For running DF Storyteller you want to use Windows Terminal. If Windows Terminal is not available on your system use Windows PowerShell (or Command Prompt). If you ever have problems with the application pausing/not responding look at this issue. There is also a Video guide.
- Linux: Better then Windows 😇. Installing database is easy just use whatever terminal you want. Works fine in all of them.
- Mac OS: Works as it should. Steps are yet untested but should work. Installing database is easy just use the default terminal.
System architecture
Most computers run x86_64, this is a 64bit build. If you still use a 32bit system you have to create your own build .
