# BMAD Installer Messages # These messages are displayed during installation # Edit this file to change what users see during the install process # Display at the START of installation (after logo, before prompts) startMessage: | ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎉🎉 Happy Holidays and New Year 🍾🍾 IMPORTANT Changes with Version Alpha.20 - PLEASE READ THIS if upgrading from earlier Alpha Versions: 1. The BMad Core default output folder has changed from docs to `_bmad-output`. `docs` is meant for long-term artifacts, which you can always decide to move content to. 2. If utilizing the BMad Method Module (BMM) please be aware of the following important recent changes: - Phases 1-3 (Analysis, Planning, Solutioning) will now default output to _bmad-output/planning-artifacts - Phase 4 (Implementation) will now default output to _bmad-output/implementation-artifacts - Long term project knowledge (research, docs, references, document-project output) will now default to docs/ IT IS STRONGLY SUGGESTED to align with these folder conventions instead of dumping all to docs/ - if you are upgrading from a prior version where all output was going to docs or docs/sprint-artifacts, it is suggested to reset configs to these new values. If you have anything in progress, you can move what was in sprint-artifacts to _bmad-output/implementation-artifacts, and if you had brainstorming content, a PRD, UX or Architecture, you can move the content to _bmad-output/planning-artifacts. Read the latest updates before continuing: https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ # Display at the END of installation (after all setup completes) endMessage: | ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ✨ BMAD IS READY TO USE! ONE FINAL NOTE WITH VERSION Alpha.20: Phase 4 (Implementation) is still in the process of being migrated to the improved workflow progressive disclosure system. Along with this, the full conversion to the new path locations for content being searched may possibly be incomplete. If you run a workflow that relies on finding input documents automatically, and you notice they are not being found / looking in the wrong location, either: 1. Manually specify the correct input location when prompted 2. Open an issue on GitHub so we can address the problem quickly if you think its a bug. 3. Ensure your content is in the new locations for best results: - Planning Artifacts (Phases 1-3): _bmad-output/planning-artifacts - Implementation Artifacts (Phase 4): _bmad-output/implementation-artifacts - Long Term Project Knowledge (docs, research, references): docs/ Thank you for helping test the early release version of the new BMad Core and BMad Method! Stable Beta coming soon - please read the full README.md and linked documentation to get started. And again, here is the Change Log with all the details of recent updates: https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
