Warning

I made this as a joke, because I was bored and wanted to see the idea come to life. Expect it to be buggy.

Installation

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

1. Python 3.8+: You can check your Python version by running python --version or python3 --version in your terminal. If you don't have it, you can download it from the official Python website.

2. Git: This is required to clone the repository. If you don't have it, you can download it from the official Git website.

Steps

1. Clone the repository: Open your terminal and run the following commands to download the project files.

   git clone https://github.com/YourUsername/pyedit.git  
   cd pyedit
   

2. Create and activate a virtual environment: This is a recommended practice to keep your project's dependencies separate from other Python projects.

   # Create the virtual environment (named 'venv')  
   python3 -m venv venv
   
   # Activate the virtual environment  
   # On macOS/Linux:  
   source venv/bin/activate  
   # On Windows:  
   .\venv\Scripts\activate
   

3. Install dependencies: While the virtual environment is active, install the required libraries using pip.

   pip install PyQt6
   

Usage

To run the editor, simply execute the main script from your terminal:

python pyedit.py
