1. Install github desktop

2. In github desktop, add the marlin repo via URL: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin

3. "Fetch" the latest version from the bugfix-2.0.x branch

4. Open /Documents/Github/Marlin/Marlin/

5. Replace the Configuration.h and Configuration_adv.h with the files from here: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Configurations/tree/import-2.0.x/config/examples/JGAurora/A5

6. Compile and flash firmware per normal instructions (https://jgaurorawiki.com/a5/firmware)

Hey Eye -- if you're online, do you want me to help you setup Marlin 2.0 on your computer? we could do this via teamviewer? Please private message me if you are available

Sounds good to me! --- do you want to try to flash it? If the firmware is incorrect, we can always flash back to the standard 1.1.8C community firmware. Only important step is to unplug LCD before flashing.
