## This guide will show how to build the app from source
|
|
|
|
{% include custom/alerts/Note.html content="This is NOT a required step, you do not need to build the app from source." %}
|
|
|
|
## Requirements:
|
|
|
|
- [x] [Python 3.6.8](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-368/)
|
|
- [x] [Pyinstaller](https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/installation.html)
|
|
- [x] Windows PC
|
|
|
|
## Install the required Python modules.
|
|
|
|
After cloning the project open a command prompt in the eyetrack app folder and run the command: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
|
|
|
|
If you have multiple python versions installed on your machine, run the command: `py -3.6 -m pip install -r requirements.txt`
|
|
|
|
This should install all of the required modules.
|
|
|
|
## Build the app.
|
|
|
|
Now, you should be ready to build the app.
|
|
With a command promt open in the EyeTrackApp folder, run the command `pyinstaller eyetrackapp.spec`
|
|
|
|
Give it time to build the app. Once done the app should be under `dist/eyetrackapp`
|
|
|
|
## Optional steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Move the `Images` folder from the source folder into the folder with the built .exe in it
|
|
- this will let it have an icon in the app and taskbar.
|
|
|
|
2. Use a program like [Resource Hacker](http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/) to replace the .exe icon with the correct logo.
