mfs2020_vfrmap_ui_widget's Issues

installation process in Readme.md unclear

sorry to use the issue for that. but the Readme.md states for the installation:
_Steps
Just launch _build.bat (check that the MSFS_SDK path is correctly set).
Copy the built package in dist\Packages in your MFS packages.

do i really need the SDK and running the bat in order for proper installation?
cant i just download the file from the releases and place the downloaded folder (ui-widget-for-vfrmap) into my communit y folder?

PS: will you put your piece of software onto flightsim.to?

thanks for your work!
