The iRODS functionality is based on [ibridges](https://github.com/UtrechtUniversity/iBridges) and works with any *iRODS* instance.  \n\n![](docs/screenshots/metadata.png)\n  \n## Highlights\n\n- Works on Windows, Mac OS and Linux: [supported versions](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/supported-platforms.html)\n\n- Runs on Python 3.9 or higher.\n- Supported iRODS server versions: 4.2.11 or higher and 4.3.0 or higher.\n- **Upload** and **Download** your data.\n- Manipulate the **metadata** on the iRODS server.\n- **Synchronize** your data between your local computer and the iRODS server.\n- **Search** through all metadata for your dataset or collection.\n- Safe default options when working with your data.\n\n## Prebuild executable \u003calpha\u003e\nThere are prebuild executables available for Windows, macOS and Ubuntu.\nYou can find the latest release [here](https://github.com/iBridges-for-iRODS/iBridges-GUI/releases/latest).\nThe build was done using the latest version on an x64 architecture.\n\n## Installation\n- The python package \n\n  ```bash\n  pip install ibridgesgui\n  ```\n  \n- A specific branch of the git repository (testers, developers)\n\n  ```bash\n  pip install git+https://github.com/iBridges-for-iRODS/iBridges-GUI.git@branch-name\n  ```\n  \n- Locally from code (for developers)\n\n  ```bash\n  git clone git@github.com:iBridges-for-iRODS/iBridges-Gui.git\n  cd iBridges-Gui\n  pip install \".[all]\"\n  ```\n  \n## Start the GUI\n- From a pip python package\n\n  ```bash\n  ibridges-gui\n  ```\n- From code (for developers)\n\n  ```bash\n  python ibridgesgui/__main__.py\n  ```\n\n## Executables\nSince iBridges version 1.4.0 we offer pre-built executables. These executables can also be built from source.\nPlease note, that this feature is still in experimental state.\n\n### Prebuilt executables\nGo to the [Releases page](https://github.com/iBridges-for-iRODS/iBridges-GUI/releases). In the latest releases you will find three zip-files, these contain the prebuilt application.\nDownload the respective zip-file for your system and unpack it. In the unpacked folder there is a file `ibridges_gui.[exe, sh]`\nFor Windows simply click on the exe-file, for Mac and Linux open the file with a shell `bash ./ibridges_gui.sh`.\n\n\n### Building Executables\n\nWe offer build scripts in case you would like to compile iBridges and distribute the executable.\n\n```\npython3 build_tools/build_script.py -h\n\nusage: build_script.py [-h] [--debug_exe] [--rem_venv]\n                       [--code_folder CODE_FOLDER] [--ui_folder UI_FOLDER]\n                       [--icons_folder ICONS_FOLDER] [--venv VENV]\n\niBridges-Gui exe creator.\n\noptions:\n  -h, --help            show this help message and exit\n  --debug_exe           Build executable with debug console\n  --rem_venv            remove virtual environment\n  --code_folder CODE_FOLDER\n                        Full path to the directory with code\n  --ui_folder UI_FOLDER\n                        Full path to the directory with ui files\n  --icons_folder ICONS_FOLDER\n                        Full path to the directory with the icons\n  --venv VENV           Full path to virtual python environment\n```\n\nThis will create a virtual environment `venv` in your iBridges folder. Next to that you will find a new folder `build` and `ibridgesgui_dist`. The executable can be found and started like this for Mac and Linux:\n\n```\n./output/ibridgesgui/ibridges_gui.bin\n```\n\nFor Windows simply click on the file `output/ibridgesgui/ibridges_gui.exe`.\n\n## Extending iBridges-GUI (for developers)\niBridges-GUI supports Plugins. You can create a plugin for your own tab and it will be detected and run by the main application when it is installed.\nWe provide a small guide and template structure [here](https://github.com/iBridges-for-iRODS/ibridges-gui-tab-example).\n\n## Authors\n**Christine Staiger (Maintainer) [ORCID](https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6754-7647)**\n\n- *Wageningen University \u0026 Research* 2021 - 2022\n- *Utrecht University* 2022\n\n**Tim van Daalen**, *Wageningen University \u0026 Research* 2021\n\n**Maarten Schermer (Maintainer) [ORCID](https://orcid.org/my-orcid?orcid=0000-0001-6770-3155)**, *Utrecht University* 2023\n\n**Raoul Schram (Maintainer) [ORCID](https://orcid.org/my-orcid?orcid=0000-0001-6616-230X)**. \n*Utrecht University* 2023\n\n## Contributors\n\n**J.P.
