spycalc

Extensibly scriptable calculator

this repository is a complete redesign of my previous project, nscalc

Supported Platforms

spycalc is written in pure python, so in theory it should run on any system, but it is only tested on Windows 10, and Linux (arch)

Installation

Cross-Platform

This is the prefered way of installing if you do not really know what you are doing. This also assumes that you have no prerequisites like python, pip, git, or any other dev tools

Windows

The first step here is to install python from the microsoft store.

It is recommended that you install python 3.10

click the "Get" button, this will then show, and "Install" button, click that button to install python

you may now close that window

the next step is to install spycalc via python's package manager, pip. If you do know what that means, that is ok, just make sure to read the instructions carefully.

Now, type "power" into the "type here to search" bar on the bottom left of your screen, and run powershell as administrator

It will bring up a blue screen with white text. copy the following text and paste it into the powershell window, and press enter

pip install spycalc

this will run a command that is pretty intuitive. it tells 'pip' to 'install' 'spycalc'

Now, you have install spycalc on your system.

The Final step is to add a shortcut. In the powershell window run the following command

py -m spycalc --setup

it should now be runnable from the start menu by typing spycalc into "type here to search"

Linux

arch

sudo pacman -S python3

python3 -m pip install spycalc

python3 -m spycalc --setup

deb+

sudo apt install python3

python3 -m pip install spycalc

python3 -m spycalc --setup

Development Mode

This is recommended for those who intend to extend, or fork spycalc

copy the git repository

git clone https://github.com/Krayfighter/spycalc.git
cd spycalc
./setup.sh

This may need work in the future but works for now
