fman

A cross-platform dual-pane file manager.

Development instructions

fman currently uses Python 3.14.

Install the requirements for your operating system. For example:

pip install -Ur requirements/mac.txt       # macOS
pip install -Ur requirements/ubuntu.txt    # Ubuntu/Debian
pip install -Ur requirements/arch.txt      # Arch Linux
pip install -Ur requirements/fedora.txt    # Fedora
pip install -Ur requirements/windows.txt   # Windows

Then you can use python build.py to run, compile etc. fman. For example:

python build.py run

Call python build.py without arguments to see a list of available commands. This uses fman build system.

You can run automated tests with python build.py test. On Windows, this requires Developer Mode (Settings -> System -> Advanced) to be enabled, or some tests related to symlinks will fail.
