+# OpenSCAD Baseline Setup Guide
+
+This guide provides an automated setup process for OpenSCAD and libraries like BOSL2 and BOSL. It includes validation steps to ensure the installation is successful.
+
+## Quick Start: Automated Installation
+
+Run the following command to install OpenSCAD, set up libraries, and validate the configuration:
+
+```bash
+curl -sL https://git.nixc.us/colin/OpenSCAD/raw/branch/main/install.sh | bash
+
+What the Script Does
+	1.	Checks for Homebrew:
+	•	Ensures Homebrew is installed. If not, it halts and provides a link to install it.
+	2.	Installs OpenSCAD:
+	•	Installs OpenSCAD using Homebrew if it’s not already installed.
+	3.	Sets Up the OpenSCAD Libraries Directory:
+	•	Creates the directory ~/Documents/OpenSCAD/libraries/ if it doesn’t already exist.
+	4.	Clones BOSL2 and BOSL:
+	•	Clones the repositories for BOSL2 and BOSL into the libraries directory.
+	•	If the repositories already exist, it updates them using git pull.
+	5.	Validates the Installation:
+	•	Ensures OpenSCAD is properly installed and available on the system.
+	•	Checks that both BOSL2 and BOSL directories exist in the correct location.
+	6.	Reports Success or Failure:
+	•	If any step fails, the script provides a diagnostic message to help resolve the issue.
+
+Verifying the Installation
+	1.	Open OpenSCAD and create a new file.
+	2.	Add the following code:
+
+use <BOSL2/std.scad>;
+
+cube([10,10,10], center=true);
+
+
+	3.	Press F5 (Preview) or F6 (Render). If there are no errors, the installation was successful.
+
+Troubleshooting
+	•	Homebrew not installed:
+	•	Install Homebrew from https://brew.sh/.
+	•	Git issues:
+	•	Ensure Git is installed and working. Run:
+
+git --version
+
+
+	•	Libraries not found:
+	•	Verify the libraries are located in ~/Documents/OpenSCAD/libraries/.
+	•	If missing, re-run the script.
+	•	OpenSCAD not found:
+	•	Verify the installation by running:
+
+openscad --version
+
+
