Original site: GCCG (Generic Collectible Card Game)
Once you have it installed, watch some tutorials to familiarize yourself with the application.
If you want to use keyboard shortcuts in GCCG to make the actions more fluid, for example to roll the dices it would be Control Key and the character R (Ctrl + R)
In this website we are going to focus on GCCG.

Installation on Mac

1.1 Check your operating system versión. On the Mac top bar, click on apple icon and then “About this Mac”
1.2 Go to the following url and look on the page for the table where the relationship between the version of the operating system and the version of XCode is specified. If your operating system is the latest, it is likely that it will not appear on the list and you will have to download the latest version from the App Store. In that case, download it from the App Store and go to step 2.

Go to this url and search the results for the version of XCode to download and install. It also installs the Command Line Tools.
