HomeCopy
HomeCopy is a desktop text relay app for macOS and Windows.
This repository now ships a small Python installer CLI so a machine can pull the latest HomeCopy source from GitHub, build the local executable, and update it later.
Install the installer
pip install HomeCopy
If pip is missing but Python is already installed:
python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
On Windows:
py -m ensurepip --upgrade
py -m pip install --upgrade pip
Build the desktop app locally
homecopy install
This command:
- downloads the latest
Tommy-OMI/HomeCopysource from GitHub - builds the platform-specific desktop executable on the current machine
- installs the built app into a local user-owned directory
The installer prefers Python 3.12 or 3.11 for the actual desktop build.
If you want to force a specific interpreter:
export HOMECOPY_PYTHON_BIN=/path/to/python3.11
homecopy install
Update to the latest GitHub version
homecopy update
