These instructions create and upload a working addon without editing a single line of code!

1. Download and install Python 3.11.

2. Install wap:

   pip install --upgrade --user wow-addon-packager
   

3. Create a new a project:

   wap new-project
   

   And then, answer the prompts. Don't worry too much about your answers -- you can always change them later in your configuration file.

4. Change to your new project's directory. For example, if you named it MyAddon in the last step, you'd type:

   cd MyAddon
   

5. Build your addon package and link it to your local World of Warcraft installation:

   wap build --link
   

   At this point, you can play the game with your addon.

6. Upload your addon to CurseForge with your API token so that others can use it:

   wap publish --curseforge-token "<api-token>"
