For people who don't have windows or don't want to use exe file

• First, if you didn't already, install Python

• Download the last source code release here

• Extract it wherever you want.

• Open the terminal and type cd <PATH TO SOFTWARE FOLDER>

• Type the command:

  pip3 install -r requirements.txt

  • If you are on Linux, you might need to install Tkinter manually, commands to install are here
  • You need to remove the win10toast from requirements.txt if you are not on windows or else you won't be able to install the depedencies
  • Mac Users, you must add terminal to accessibility and input monitoring settings in system preferences to allow mouse and keyboard inputs.
  • (Optional) If you want these package to be on virtual environment follow these step here

• Finally, do cd src and type: python3 main.py

• And boom! The software is now ready to use.

Build (Windows)

To build the application, I use PyInstaller.

You need to be on home directory, not on src.

Then, use that command for onefile output (upx is optional).

pyinstaller --noconfirm --onefile --windowed --icon "src/assets/logo.ico" --name "PyMacroRecord-portable" --contents-directory "." --upx-dir upx --add-data "src/assets;assets/" --add-data "src/hotkeys;hotkeys/" --add-data "src/macro;macro/" --add-data "src/utils;utils/" --add-data "src/windows;windows/" --add-data "src/langs;langs"  "src/main.py"

For onedir output, use that command (upx is optional).

pyinstaller --noconfirm --onedir --windowed --icon "src/assets/logo.ico" --name "PyMacroRecord" --contents-directory "." --upx-dir upx --add-data "src/assets;assets/" --add-data "src/hotkeys;hotkeys/" --add-data "src/macro;macro/" --add-data "src/utils;utils/" --add-data "src/langs;langs" --add-data "src/windows;windows/"  "src/main.py"
