Before you begin
There are a few things you should keep in mind.
Magnetron is a program that acts as a command line application director. Magnetron and the DEV environment are extremely powerful; recipes can potentially change and delete files and folders and share data with others. Use it with caution. With great power comes great responsibility.
The magnetron.dev environment therefore adds a debug dialog for each of these operations. The developer will have to manually confirm actions when test running their recipes.

The Magnetron DEV application is a free to use IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for writing Magnetron Recipes.
