Installing Scripts

So, I'm learning about API, and starting to install some scripts. I have a question about the scripts on GitHub. Many scripts seem to have a .js and a .json file. Do I copy and paste both of these? And just for my own curiosity, what's the difference?

Just the .js The .json is just information about the author of the script.

More information about the package.json file here: <a href="https://github.com/Roll20/roll20-api-scripts/blob/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Roll20/roll20-api-scripts/blob/</a>... JSON is a light weight machine readable format that was originally created by Douglas Crockford (author of a great book called Javascript: The Good Parts! =D). You can read more about it at: <a href="http://www.json.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.json.org/</a> If you're getting into writing scripts, you might be interested in another of Douglas Crockford's contributions to the Javascript ecosystem: <a href="http://www.jslint.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jslint.com/</a> And definitely keep asking questions on the API forum!

The Aaron said: And definitely keep asking questions on the API forum! Well, since you said so... I'm seeing that some scripts have dependencies (e.g. "Torch" has dependency "IsGM"). I'm assuming that means I need both scripts installed on my campaign. But, taking "Torch" for an example, I go to the "IsGM" page on GitHub, and I see "IsGM" and "IsGMModule." Which one do I install in order to run "Torch." Or do I need both?

Torch and other scripts really should be re-written now that isgm has become an API function. :P :)

Ah, they actually HAVE been re-written. What I really need is to get them retested...

They are the same thing, I changed names at one point. I don't think I realized there are two of them hanging out.
