## How to Install
### Create a Scripts Dataset
In this example we created a `scripts` dataset on the Truenas SCALE system, feel free to use another folder.

### Additional Information
#### TrueTool vs HeavyScript
TrueTool and HeavyScript are based, in essence, based on the the original (python based) TrueUpdate and TrueTool.
Then Support-Manager for TrueCharts, HeavyBullets8, ported this to Bash and started adding some additional logic and options for tasks we frequently needed our users to do, such as mounting PVC's.
After a month or so, the TrueCharts Team officially started refactoring this expanded bash-port. Due to personal reasons, HeavyBullets by then decided to seperate from TrueCharts after merging the TrueCharts refactor into his own work. The beauty of OpenSource.

From this point onwards the HeavyScript and TrueTool diverged a bit.
We internally review changes within our staff team, to verify we somewhat stick to best-practices. This means, in some cases, we decided not to port certain features from HeavyScript and did decide to add features we think are usefull and safe.

But this also means we can give guarantees TrueTool works optimally with our Catalog of TrueNAS SCALE Apps, as well as official Apps.
Users from HeavyScript can safely start using TrueTool, as we've made precautions to ensure the backups take over smoothly.
We, however, do *not* advice using HeavyScript with TrueCharts Apps. Not because it's a bad App, but because we offer an alternative that is validated by our Staff.
