2. Quick Installation

---

If you don't already have an autoexec.cfg, installation is easy. Simply copy the cfg/ and scripts/ folders to Steam/SteamApps/common/dota 2 beta/dota/. This will install and enable the aliases and tutorials (the bindings and console variables will not be enabled by default; you should browse those and use the ones you like).

If you do have an autoexec.cfg, copy the cfg/clarity/ folder to Steam/SteamApps/common/dota 2 beta/dota/cfg and the scripts/tutorial/ folder to Steam/SteamApps/common/dota 2 beta/dota/scripts. Then add the following to your autoexec.cfg:

con_enable 1
exec clarity/use_tutorials_and_aliases.cfg

---

3. Detailed Installation

---

The file structure is designed so that you can include only the parts of dota2-clarity that you want to use and ignore the rest. This works by keeping all files in Steam/SteamApps/common/dota 2 beta/dota/cfg/clarity and executing them from your autoexec.cfg.

1. Copy the cfg/clarity/ folder to Steam/SteamApps/common/dota 2 beta/dota/cfg.
2. Copy the scripts/tutorial/ folder to Steam/SteamApps/common/dota 2 beta/dota/scripts.

To enable only training missions and aliases (recommended):

3. In your Steam/SteamApps/common/dota 2 beta/dota/cfg/autoexec.cfg file, add exec clarity/use_tutorials_and_aliases.cfg.
4. Restart Dota 2, open the console, and enter one of the commands to start a training mission:
   • train_radiant_juke_paths
   • train_dire_juke_paths
   • train_pull_wards
   • train_rune_wards
   • train_vision_wards

To enable only some features (recommended):

3. Open clarity/use_all.cfg and clarity/example_binds.cfg.
4. Copy and modify the lines for the features you want to use into your autoexec.cfg.

To enable all features (not recommended):

3. In your Steam/SteamApps/common/dota 2 beta/dota/cfg/autoexec.cfg file, add exec clarity/use_all.cfg.

4. Usage

---

Explore the clarity/ directory and read the documentation in the files that interest you. Of particular interest is clarity/example_binds.cfg, which defines key bindings for aliases defined by Clarity.

To use practice drills:

1. Start a local game with cheats enabled.
2. Open the console and enter the command to start the drill you want to run, e.g. drill_juke_paths.
3. Press the apostrophe key to print cheat keys to the console.

To use training missions:

1. At the main interface without a game started, open the console and enter the command to start the tutorial, e.g. drill_rune_wards.
2. Press the apostrophe key to print cheat keys to the console.
