Thank you for using Sticky Notes. Sticky Notes is a program that allows you to mimic regular desk sticky notes on your PC. Sticky Notes was designed to be simple so you can focus with no distractions. Sticky Notes currently can open and allow direct editing to any existing .txt file. Sticky Notes saves your notes in .txt format so you can edit and view them in other text editors at your convenience. Sticky Notes works on all major platforms that support Python3 (E.g. Linux, macOS, Windows, etc.).
To use Sticky Notes, you need to have python installed. Additionally, Sticky Notes depends on the PySimpleGui and subprocess python libraries.
- Clone or download and unzip the main branch
- Navigate to the directory in a terminal (E.g. CMD, Linux terminal, etc.)
cd Sticky-Notes - Install all python prerequisites
python -m pip install -r ./optional-resources/requirements.txt
NOTE: On some Linux distros you will need to install tkinter manually. Run
sudo apt-get install python3-tk
To use this program, run python main.py
Use the python PyInstaller module to create an executable. Check the documentation for more details on how to use PyInstaller.
To create an executable of Sticky Notes, you will first need to edit the function call on line 94 to createNewInstanceExe() instead of createNewInstance(). Once you have done that and after you have installed PyInstaller, run python -m PyInstaller --noconsole --onefile --icon=./optional-resources/stickyNotes.ico ./main.py
NOTE: On Linux you may need to use
python3 ...instead of justpython ...
