#### Troubleshooting
If you run `bombadillo` and get `bombadillo: command not found`, try running `make` from within the cloned repo. Then try: `./bombadillo`. If that works it means that the application is getting built correctly and the issue is likely in your path settings. Any errors during `make install` should be pretty visible, as you will be able to see what command it failed on.

## Releases
Starting with version 2.0.0 releases into `master` will be version-tagged. Work done toward the next release will be created on work branches named for what they are doing and then merged into `develop` to be combined with other ongoing efforts before a release is merged into `master`. At present there is no specific release schedule. It will depend on the urgency of the work that makes its way into develop and will be up to the project maintainers' judgement when to release from `develop`.
