Setting up the Application
Once you have downloaded and installed the Stardew Valley Mod Manager, you will have to complete the first-run setup process.
First-Run Setup
The first-run setup will only occur when you first open the Stardew Valley Mod Manager or when you reset the application from the settings. When you first run the application, you'll be greeted with the following window:
To get started, click "Continue" - The application will then show a loading spinner whilst it attempts to locate your Stardew Valley Installation directory.
If Steam and Stardew Valley are both installed in their default directories, the Stardew Valley Mod Manager should automatically prefill the directory. Once this is done, simply click "Continue" to complete the First-Run setup.
If you don't currently have SMAPI installed, you will be prompted to install a bundled version of SMAPI. This however may not be the most up-to-date version of SMAPI so you may want to update this as soon as the setup is complete.
If you have the Steam version of Stardew Valley installed but you have it installed in a non standard location, the Stardew Valley Mod Manager may not be able to find your install directory. There is a GIF in the window that will show you how to get your Stardew Valley installation directory from within Steam.
If you do not have the Steam version of Stardew Valley installed on your device, you will need get your Stardew Valley installation directory manually.
