Getting Started

These instructions are aimed towards getting you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

In order to build this project, you'll need the latest version of Python and the following libraries:

• PySide6
• Pillow
• qt-material

In the future, I'll add a requirements file.

pip install pyside6 Pillow qt-material

Installing

It is fairly easy to install the project, all you need to do is to clone it from GitHub. There is also the option to download a copy of the repository.

You can also clone the repository using the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/DatDarkAlpaca/Buddy/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

After that, you'll also need to run PyInstaller. It'll generate files inside dist, and you'll need to copy the res folder in there in order to run the application. Inside the repository clone folder, run the following:

pyinstaller --name="Buddy" --windowed --onefile main.py
