## Building
1. **Install Prerequisites**
- Download and install [Python 3.10+](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
- **macOS**: Ensure Xcode Command Line Tools are installed (`xcode-select --install`).
2. **Setup Environment & Dependencies**
It's recommended to use a virtual environment:
```sh
# Create and activate venv
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # macOS/Linux
venv\Scripts\activate # Windows
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install pyinstaller
```
3. **Build the Application**
A unified build script handles platform-specific packaging (using PyInstaller, Inno Setup, or AppImage tools):
```sh
python build.py
```
The resulting installer/package will be located in the `dist/` directory.
