1. Download .NET 8.0. You want to download the x64 version Confirm that it is installed using the command dotnet --list-runtimes.
2. Recursively clone the PMDO repository using git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/audinowho/PMDODump.git.
3. Copy all of the .dylib files in PMDC/PMDC/runtimes folders to PMDC/PMDC. Here’s what your file structure should look like:

You may want to include more. Modified from here.

The following steps below depend on your IDE of choice. See each section below.

Jetbrains Rider

Jetbrains Rider requires a paid subscription.

1. Debug should run out of the box. Set the configuration to PMDC and click "Debug", and you should be all ready to go!
   

Visual Studio Code

1. Install the C# extension. There is a possibility that you have to downgrade to an older version like v1.24.4 or modify the settings in Omnisharp settings discussed here? But I personally wasn’t able to figure out how to make it work.
2. Create .vscode/launch.json in the root folder of PMDODump In launch.json, copy everything from here to the file.
   
3. In the Run and Debug tab in VSCode, you can click on the green arrow to begin debugging.
