Hi,

colud you help me to understand better this part of the install process? It is so confusing:

  1. Run the Python Program After installing the required packages, you are ready to run the Python program:

python.exe laser_level_tool/main.py We run the main.py file in the laser_level_tool directory

Since there is no folder like that in the repo, and if I create one, thy main.py missing all the other components and gives me error. How can I go through this step?

Thanks!

You should be able to just run the main.py python file directly from inside the main directory. Another thing is if you’ve installed the code dependencies with a virtual environment you have to make sure you’ve activated that before launching the code. If you’ve got any errors, post them here so I can have a better idea what’s happening.
