Head to repository website for description of the scripts.

Download

There are several ways to use the scripts, a recommended method is to install them in Adobe installation paths so that they may appear in Menubar > File > Scripts.

In any case, download the source code and pick one of the following solutions.

Automatic Installation

Run install.bat as admin (Windows) or install.sh with sudo (macOS).

Manual Installation

Find Scripts directory in your local Adobe installation paths:

• Illustrator - $PATH_TO_APP/Presets/$LOCALE_CODE/Scripts.
• Photoshop - $PATH_TO_APP/Presets/Scripts.

Now copy these:

• Content of Illustrator/Photoshop Scripts to Scripts.
• .stdlib and .stdres to parent directory of Scripts.

In macOS, make sure to show all hidden files in Finder.

No Installation

It is possible to use the scripts by drag-and-dropping JSX files directly to Adobe apps. Just make sure to keep the entirety of root folder instead of Illustrator/Photoshop Scripts folders.

This is because the scripts are not standalone, all of them require hidden directories to be in pre-determined locations.

Usage

If you decide to install the scripts, they can be accessed from menubar or keyboard shortcuts.
