+### wx-config can't be found
+On old versions it's possible that cmake can't find wx-config, to solve this add the tool to the cmake command manually like this: `-DwxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/wx-config-gtk3`
+
+### Installing resources
+Install the resource folder to the .magicseteditor dir: `mkdir -p $HOME/.magicseteditor && cp -r ./resources $HOME/.magicseteditor/resources`
+Templates are installed to `~/.magicseteditor/data`. Fonts are installed to `~/.local/share/fonts`.
