## Installation

- clone the repo

- cd into the repo directory

- create a virtual environment and activate it

- python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

- python3 setup.py py2app

- Copy dist/chargemon.app to /Applications

## Notes

Doesn't work with python 3.10 as [rumps](https://github.com/jaredks/rumps) is currently not compatible with 3.10.

Actually, I was able to build this with python 3.11 so the problem with [rumps](https://github.com/jaredks/rumps) may have been fixed in the latest release.

If building with [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) installed python, you'll need to build the python with framework support: 

`env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-framework" pyenv install -v 3.9.11`
