make-executable

make-executable is a simple Raspberry Pi command-line tool that allows you to make a Python script executable. It can be used like this: make-executable [option] your file name. It also has a tool option (-t/--tool) which allows you to run the script from any directory like a built in tool.

🎬 Getting Started

1. Pull the file make-executable.py onto your computer.

   cd "whatever/directory/you put your GitHub projects"

   git clone "https://github.com/Sim3-14159/make-executable.git"

2. Enter these commands:

   cd make-executable/

   chmod +x make-executable.py

   sudo mv make-executable.py /usr/local/bin/make-executable

3. Now you can use make-executable to make your own command-line tools!

4. You can use it like this:

   make-executable your file name.py

   or

   make-executable -t your-file-name.py

   Notes

   - You can leave the spaces in between your file name.py without enclosing it in quotation marks ("your file name.py")

   - Before entering make-executable -t your file name.py, you may want to remove the .py extention from the file, or your tool will end with that same extention.

💻 Dependencies

• Python 3.x.

📝 Notes

• make-executable automatically adds the line !# /usr/bin/env python at the beginning of the file if not present. If your default version of Python is Python 2.x, not 3.x, and you want to make a Python 3 script executable, it may not work.
