  • Clone the Repository and go into the folder:

    git clone https://github.com/PokeMichele/Spectrum-Qt.git && cd Spectrum-Qt
    

  • Download py_spec.py file from the Official Repository and copy it into the folder
  • Make sure you have all the permissions needed to run the shell script:

    chmod +x create.sh

  • Run the Main Script:

    python3 main.py

• Insert "single" or "dual" to set the mode (mono or stereo). If you don't know what to put inside the enry leave it blank.
• Click "Run"!

FAQ

• Is Spectrum-Qt related to py_spec?
  • Spectrum-Qt uses py_spec for a part of the process, but it can be replaced with any other script that does the same thing.

Troubleshooting

• If you run into some problems before opening an issue make sure it's not a py_spec problem. If so, check that the error hasn't already been reported in the Original Repository
