Moonhook V4 Installation

There are two ways you can get Moonhook V4 working on your Windows device.

  1. Downloading already compiled binaries
  2. Compiling Moonhook yourself.

You can find out how to do this below:

If you are running Windows(x64), you can download already compiled binaries from the Github Repository.

Go to the Github Releases page to get the latest release of Moonhook. Download the attached .zip file. It will be named similar to: moonhook-VERSION-windows_x64.zip The .zip file name will vary depending on the version.

Once you've acquired the .zip file, extract it. You will see an executable(.exe) called moonhookv4.exe. That's the Moonhook executable.

All that's left is to run (by double clicking) the .exe file and you will be able to use Moonhook.

To compile Moonhook from the source code, you first need to clone the Github Repository. You can do this by the command below in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/Seal-Softworks/MoonhookV4.git
cd MoonhookV4

After you ran the command, you will have cloned the github repository and entered the MoonhookV4 folder. This folder contains the source code.

Now, you can compile the Source Code using cmake. To find out how to do this, read the text below.

Note

You will need to have a compiler installed in order to compile Moonhook.

To compile Moonhook from the source code using cmake with the Microsoft Visual Studio compiler, run the following commands in your Powershell terminal.

cd build

cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64
cmake --build . --config Release

To compile Moonhook from the source code using cmake with Ninja, run the following commands in your Powershell terminal. 

mkdir build
cd build

cmake .. -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
