If there's an error during the first run, delete that folder to have the script try again.\n\n\u003e :warning: **OATFWGUI requires an active internet connection!**\n\n## Uninstalling\nOATFWGUI only has two directories:\n1. Find the plaformio core directory and delete it\n    * Open up a log file from the `logs` folder\n    * Near the top will be a log line like `DEBUG:Setting PLATFORMIO_CORE_DIR to C:\\Users\\RUNNER~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\.pio_OATFWGUI_dev-0.0.9-c3592b`\n    * This step is not necessary on Linux, the folder is automatically removed when the computer is restarted\n2. Delete the extracted folder (something like `OATFWGUI_1.0.0-release+f5e4f6_Windows_X64`)\n\n## Screenshots\nWindows:\n![](assets/screenshot_Windows.jpg)\n\nLinux:\n![](assets/screenshot_Linux.jpg)\n\n## Development\nTo run the app:\n```shell\n$ python3 -m venv .venv # Create a virtual environment in .venv\n$ ./.venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt # Install requirements\n$ source .venv/bin/activate \u0026\u0026 ./OATFWGUI/main.py # Run the app\n```\n\nTo run the widget designer you need python development libraries:\n- Fedora: `sudo dnf install python3-devel`\n- Ubuntu (probably, not tested): `sudo apt install python3-dev`\n\n- then:\n`source .venv/bin/activate \u0026\u0026 env PYSIDE_DESIGNER_PLUGINS=$(realpath ./OATFWGUI) pyside6-designer`\n\nOpen `main_widget.ui` in the designer\n\n### Releasing a new version\n1. Bump version in `OATFWGUI/_version.py`\n2. Run `scripts/commit_and_tag_new_version.sh`\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fopenastrotech%2Foatfwgui","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fopenastrotech%2Foatfwgui","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fopenastrotech%2Foatfwgui/lists"}
