Running the examples is really easy. The only thing you need is Python 3.
First, download the ZIP archive of this repository and unpack it. Open a command prompt and use cd to navigate into the top-level directory of the archive.
Create a virtual environment via the command:
python3 -m venv venv
This creates the folder venv/ in your current directory. It will contain the necessary libraries for running the examples.
To activate the virtual environment, use the following command:
# On Windows:
call venv\Scripts\actviate.bat
# On Mac / Linux:
source venv/bin/activate
Now execute the following to install the necessary dependencies:
pip install -Ur src/requirements.txt
Once you have done this, use cd to navigate to the example you're interested in in the src/ folder. For example:
cd "src/01 PyQt QLabel"
You'll find a .py file there, typically main.py. You can run it with the command:
python main.py
Please note that the virtual environment must still be active for this to work.
