1. Download the code
   • Clone/Download alttp_sm_combo_randomizer_rom

     Extract to C:\SMALttPR\combiner\

   • Clone/Download alttp_sm_combo_randomizer

     Extract to C:\SMALttPR\randomizer\

2. Install some apps
   • Install python to C:\Python\

     Be sure to Add Python to Environment Variables

   • Install php to C:\SMALttPR\PHP

     Edit php.ini-production and remove the ; from the beginning of extension=curl

   • Install Git

     Uncheck "Windows Explorer Integration"

   • Install Composer

     Select the PHP executable from C:\SMALttPR\PHP

3. Acquire ROMs
   • Super Metroid

     Rename to sm_orig.sfc

   • Zelda no Densetsu Kamigami no Triforce 1.0

     Rename to alttp_orig.sfc

4. Run some stuff
   • Open a command-line prompt and navigate to C:\SMALttPR\randomizer\ folder
   • Run composer install
5. Do a little clean-up
   • Be sure to have the latest stable release of the code
   • Re-extract the code repositories, overwrite all files
   • Create a folder at C:\SMALttPR\randomizer\output\
   • Create a folder at C:\SMALttPR\combiner\build\
   • Move sm_orig.sfc & alttp_orig.sfc into C:\SMALttPR\combiner\resources\
   • Run C:\SMALttPR\combiner\build.bat

     This creates your base ROM for SMALttPR at C:\SMALttPR\combiner\build\zsm.sfc

   • Copy zsm.sfc to C:\SMALttPR\randomizer\output\
6. Run the thing!
   • Generate a random SMALttPR game file

     Navigate to C:\SMALttPR\randomizer\output\

     Run php artisan alttp:randomize --skip-md5 --mode=open --variation=combo .\zsm.sfc .\output\

If nothing blew up, you should have a randomized SMALttPR game file in C:\SMALttPR\randomizer\output\

For each new code update that you want to implement (provided you haven't altered any of the files yourself) repeat Steps 5 & 6
