How the heck do you build this?

[zipo214]

All I want is STA, I am willing to get this going, but I have no clue how to run these scripts let alone find them. Do I run them in cmd or ming or msys or Git bash? I am absolutely lost. I dont code. I scan. I would be ever so grateful if someone who at least break it down for me like a 5 year old because thats about the level of git experience I have.

If you're running Windows and you're focused on scanning rather than developing/coding, you're probably better off just downloading a release from https://github.com/4lex4/scantailor-advanced/releases (you have to expand "Assets" to see the listing). This is the Early Access release from 2019 which might not include all the latest features:

64-bit: https://github.com/4lex4/scantailor-advanced/releases/download/2019.8.16_EA/scantailor-advanced-2019.8.16-win64.exe
32-bit: https://github.com/4lex4/scantailor-advanced/releases/download/2019.8.16_EA/scantailor-advanced-2019.8.16-win32.exe

You might also consider scantailor-universal which is still being actively developed and has a more recent release from 2023 (albeit with perhaps fewer output features):

64-bit: https://github.com/trufanov-nok/scantailor-universal/releases/download/0.2.14/scantailor-universal-0.2.14-64bit-install.exe
32-bit: https://github.com/trufanov-nok/scantailor-universal/releases/download/0.2.14/scantailor-universal-0.2.14-32bit-install.exe

Happy scanning!
