## How to Install

**1. Installing BitBar**

There are two ways to install BitBar on your Mac:

- Use Homebrew: `brew cask install bitbar`.

- Or download .app file directly: [Get the latest version of BitBar](https://github.com/matryer/bitbar/releases). Then copy it to your Applications folder and run it - it will ask you to (create and) select a plugins folder, do so.

**2. Installing Python**

- Install Python by following the [instructions here](https://www.python.org/downloads/).

- Make sure your node exec resides in `usr/local/bin/node`, else you will have to update the path in the script.

**3. Installing requests with pip**

- Run `sudo -H pip install requests --upgrade` to install the latest version of the requests module

**4. Saving this script**

- Download the [script](https://github.com/benjamin-sommer/covid-19-uk-tracker/blob/master/covid-19-uk-tracker.py) on your local machine. Make sure you place this file in the same plugin folder which you created while installing Bitbar.

- Go to the plugin folder and run `chmod +x covid-19-uk-tracker.py`

- Refresh Bitbar.
