Windows CLI installer GUI #2

Open dan-m0 opened 1 month ago

dan-m0 commented 1 month ago

Summary

A more user-friendly interface for the installer

Basic example

The background would still run through Powershell, to ensure overall compatibility, but some simple buttons and warning messages for users, rather than having to refer to the log codes for any failures

Motivation

Ease of installation - while this is an open source project, the bar to entry for a lot of non-technical users is quite high.

While the scirpts I've written will install and run the program as expected, not every user will be willing to run this program if they don't understand what it's doing, and many users aren't aware of Powershell.

Because of this, some may be reluctant to use the current installer due to the more technical nature of using a CLI

My plan is to use something like tkinter for the GUI - https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html (a more directed page for people newer to Python - https://realpython.com/python-gui-tkinter/)
