InstallUpdates
Users may download the latest installer file from the GitHub Releases Page. The developers will make it so that the latest production and testing releases are updated on this webpage as updates to the source code occur. Installation is done by simply downloading the executable file under the assets portion of each release and running it on your local machine.
This will unpack the built program into C:\PyForecast by default although users may specify where they want the software to be unpacked. Once unpacked, users may go into the specified directory and run the pyforecast.exe program to access the program. Doing so will open a command-line window and eventually, the PyForecast program. Note that it might take a while to run it the first time.
Users may also try to download the source code and compile the program with Python. Users may either run the install_dependencies.bat batch file or manually install the required Python modules listed within it.
If you are interested in compiling installer files, it is ideal to start a virtual environment for the project since the automated installer building process via InnoSetup relies on processes that copy Python resources to the distribution directory (\dist). This will require that you install the Python module for PyInstaller and the Windows program InnoSetup.
