How do I run this on Windows? The info in the Readme are not clear.

You need to open a terminal window and type python main.py.
Alternatively, you can create a shortcut and set this as the target.

I finally finished copying all the edits with SteamEdit into your App, however when I save, nothing happens in Steam. I save the changes in your Editor, I exit Steam so that it is taskkilled from TaskManager (not the X on the upper right), then I relaunch Steam to restart it.

There's not much I can do with "it doesn't work". Try launching it via terminal and see if there's any output.

Have you tried first closing Steam, then saving? I have to do it in that order.

What does that mean?
Also, I cannot seem to get a shortcut working.

I think it means cmd prompt, but I'm not sure.

  1. Install Python (Thank you, @nondetect)
  2. Locate the main.py file in the folder you extracted
  3. Right-click and click "Copy as path"
  4. Press Win + X or right-click the Start icon
  5. Click either "Terminal" or "PowerShell" or Command line" or something like that
  6. Type python followed by the path you copied and press enter

To create a shortcut, right-click the Desktop, select "New" and "Shortcut". Enter python followed by the copied path. Click "Continue", type a name of your choice and finish the Shortcut wizard.

should be mentioned, that Python needed first to be installed in system

True. On the other hand, the installation instructions are pretty clear about that. Still, gonna update the post, maybe people have already forgotten that.
