We do not recommend blindly installing the Cooker without reading **THIS GUIDE** and **FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS** written here.

To just install RetroDECK Cooker and hope for the best is now known as the `Rowan Skye Method`.
|
||||
|
||||
Because of mistakes that were made from a chaotic blue draconic wolfkin tester living on the edge with nothing to lose.
|
||||
We strongly recommend reading **THIS GUIDE** and **FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS** carefully. Simply installing the RetroDECK Cooker without following the guide is now known as the Rowan Skye Method.

## Step 1: Take some Backups
|
||||
|
||||
First take some backups:
|
||||
|
||||
- Make a copy of `~/.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/` folder and name it `old.net.retrodeck.retrodeck`
|
||||
- Make a full back up or partial backups of the retrodeck folder normally under `~/retrodeck` or sdcard/other drive.
|
||||
**First, take some backups:**
|
||||
|
||||
**On retrodeck folder backups:**
|
||||
- Make a copy of the `~/.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/` folder and name it old.net.retrodeck.retrodeck.
|
||||
- Make a full backup or partial backups of the RetroDECK folder, usually found under `~/retrodeck` or on an SD card/other drive.
|
||||
|
||||
Generally, very few things would target the roms folder, but the other folders could be targeted for various scripts. Our recommendation would be to back up the full `~/retrodeck` folder, but as a tester you can decide how much you want to risk.
