Follow the instructions in the Development to install cr8tor.
If using the .venv in the cr8tor development directory, make sure the environment has been activated.
Open a terminal and cd into the cr8tor-examples directory (parralel to cr8tor directory. mkdir the folder if does not exists). VSCode workspace should recognize it by default.
Review the files in the resources directory. These will be used to build the RO-Crate. See Update DAR files for details on updating the files in the resources directory.
Run cr8tor initiate -t '..\cr8-cookiecutter\' to initiate a new project. Answer the prompts.
cd into the project folder.
Run cr8tor create -i ./resources -a "AgentName" --dryrun to check everything works and review the entities that will be created in the RO-Crate. The crate will be created in a new directory called bagit alongside the resources directory. Replace AgentName with the correct value.
Now run cr8tor create -i ./resources -a "AgentName" to build the bagit crate. Replace AgentName with the correct value.
Open bagit/data/ro-crate-preview.html in a browser to preview the bagit crate and its contents.
Run cr8tor read -i ./bagit. If this succeeds, then the contents of the bagit folder form a valid RO-Crate.
