moleditpy-installer 1.6.0

Installer and shortcut creator for moleditpy (OS-dependent)

MoleditPy Installer

This package is a helper utility that automatically installs the correct version of moleditpy or moleditpy-linux for your OS, creates an application menu shortcut, and registers file associations (Windows only).

How to Use

1. Install

   pip install moleditpy-installer
   

   This will automatically install the correct moleditpy package (for Windows/macOS) or moleditpy-linux (for Linux) as a dependency.

2. Create Shortcut After installation, run the following command in your terminal to create the shortcut in your application menu (e.g., Start Menu on Windows) and register file associations for .pmeprj files (Windows only).

   Security Note: File associations for .pmeraw files have been intentionally removed. Opening .pmeraw files downloaded from the internet can be potentially unsecure, so they are no longer automatically associated with the application.

   You can also invoke it as a Python module (use an underscore, not a hyphen):

   python -m moleditpy_installer
   

   Note: python -m moleditpy-installer (with a hyphen) is invalid Python syntax and will not work. Always use the underscore form (moleditpy_installer) with -m.

3. Remove Shortcut To remove the shortcut and unregister file associations, run:

   moleditpy-installer --remove
   # or
   python -m moleditpy_installer --remove
   

4. Check Executable Location To search for the moleditpy executable in the search paths and print the located path:

   moleditpy-installer --check
   

   This command returns exit code 0 if the executable is found, and 1 otherwise.

   For the complete list of directories scanned on Windows, macOS, and Linux, see docs/path.md.

5. Print Version To show the version of the installer:

   moleditpy-installer --version
   

6. Help To see all available options, run:

   moleditpy-installer --help
