How To Open in the SDK?

How do I open the playdate SDK? I've got the .pkg file, I've downloaded it but how do I open it? I got a folder with no app! Please PlayDate/Panic staff help me!

You're on macOS and ran the pkg file? You're good in that case -- pdc should be on your PATH so you can start developing right away.

In case you didn't know, the SDK contains a few apps, hence why they're all in that folder. There's the Simulator for testing, pdc for compilation, and some C build support files.

The PKG file is for Mac OS. If you have Linux or Windows you need to download the file for that.
