This step is ONLY necessary if you don't want to use the releases from the release page and you want to build the .zip
and the .whl
files by yourself!
$ git clone https://github.com/casualsnek/cassowary
$ cd cassowary/app-linux
$ chmod +x build.sh
$ ./build.sh
This will create a directory named dist
inside app-linux
directory containing installable .whl
file
Download and install Python3 (If on Windows 7 use Python 3.7) and Git on the Windows system then run the commands:
$ git clone https://github.com/casualsnek/cassowary
$ cd cassowary\app-win
$ .\build.bat
This will create a directory named bin
containing the setup files.
Install wine first, in order to build Windows application on Linux. Internet access is required to download the python binary for setup. Note that Windows application built through wine may fail to run properly on some Windows systems.
$ git clone https://github.com/casualsnek/cassowary
$ cd cassowary
$ chmod +x buildall.sh
$ ./buildall.sh
This will create a dist
folder inside app-linux
which contains the installable wheel file.
A bin
folder will also be created inside app-win
containing the setup files for Windows.
