Installation

You can use any of the following methods:

pip

This is the easiest way.
Run the following command:

pip install tachi-local

Now tachi-local should be in a location in your PATH and available in your command-line.
So you can just run it: tachi-local --help

It can be uninstalled with this command: pip uninstall tachi-local
And updated with: pip install -U tachi-local

(This method downloads the program from PyPI)

Manual pip

You can download the source and run this command in the project's root directory:

pip install .

Then tachi-local will be available in your command-line.

PyInstaller

You can download an .exe file created using PyInstaller from the releases section.
You can place the .exe in a location in your environment PATH so you can run it from anywhere.

Zipapp

You can get a python zipped executable file from the releases section. (file named tachi-local)
You can run it like a normal executable:

./tachi-local

You can use this on Windows as well, but it cannot be executed like an exe.
You can run it like this:

python tachi-local

Manual run

You can download the source and run the code:

python tachi_local

Makefile

The makefile is used to automate some tasks.
The targets are:

• make all creates the zipapp.
• make get-version prints the program's version.
• make dist creates s-dist and b-dist (pure python wheel).
• make upload uploads to PyPI.
• make pyi-spec creates the .spec file for PyInstaller. (needed once)
• make pyi-exe creates a one-file executable using the .spec file.
• make clean cleans up pycache and the build. (there are separate more specific targets for cleaning as well)

pyi_create_version_info.py is ran with make pyi-exe and creates pyi_win_version_info.py from pyi_win_version_info.template which is used by PyInstaller to make the Windows executable's metadata.
