ScinServerInstaller
Extension
ExtensionDescription
Scintillator is distributed in two parts, the Quark code and the server binary. The ScinServerInstaller class is distributed with the Scintillator quark and can be used to update or install the server binary.
When automatic installation is enabled ScinServerInstaller will check the binary every time SuperCollider starts.
This behaviour can be disabled, see ScinServerInstaller.disableAutoInstall
Class Methods
