1 - The First step is to grab GitHub Desktop[desktop.github.com] from the official GitHub website. This will allow you to use a handy graphical interface to download Git addons similar to the old days of SVN.

2 - After finishing the GitHub Desktop installation, you need to press "File" in the top left of the GitHub screen and select "Clone repository" in the dropdown menu that appears.



3 - After clicking "Clone Repository", another window/menu will pop up giving you the option of selecting a repository from GitHub, GitHub Enterprise or URL. Select "URL".



4 - Where you would place the link, place either one of those in the URL bar/window that just appeared:

https://github.com/CurlySparkle/Apex_Sweps : This here is the repo for the Apex Guns. All the latest version of the ArcCW Apex Sweps are located here. THIS IS WHY THE GUIDE HAS BEEN CREATED, SO YOU ARE HERE PROBABLY LOOKING FOR THAT

https://github.com/HaodongMo/ArcCW : This here is the main ArcCW Base repository. Most of the new guns requires functions that (at the moment of writing this guide) hasn't been pushed to the Workshop yet. And might stay like that in the future. Since ArcCW updates take a lot of time to come to workshop, 99% of the time if you're a power-user, its better to use this one anyways. THIS IS REQUIRED FOR THIS GUIDE IN SPECIFIC ASWELL

5 - Under the place where you put the URL, where it says "local path", you should place the addons directory of your GMod, usually it is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons", but if you installed in a different place, paths may vary before the common part.

6 - After all that, click "Clone" and it should be done.

1 - To update, open GitHub Desktop again, and select the repo you want to update, it should automatically select the last one you downloaded / updated.



2 - Click on "Fetch Origin" button. This will make it start looking for updates, if there is any, it will change that button.



3 - If the button has changed to "Pull Origin", this means it has pending updates. Click that button, and after that, it should update just fine.



4 - Congratulations! Give yourself a pat on the back and have a nice one! You are also one of the small part of the population which has a working brain amongst GMod workshop users! You're already a winner on my eyes if you followed all that without stupid questions!
