Package Contents (inside alise.system)
- fullstart.cmd — Starts Leto (server) and then Iris (client)
- start-leto.cmd — Starts Leto only
- start-iris.cmd — Starts Iris only (requires Leto running)
- leto-2.12.4-exec.jar — Leto server package
- iris-2.5.7.jar — Iris client package
Installation Guide
