Getting Started
Let's set up Aura Text on your PC!
Prerequisites
- Windows 10 x64 or later, a Linux distro running kernel 6.x or later, or macOS Ventura or later

requirements.txtinstalled viapip install -r requirements.txt - (If building an installer) Inno Setup 6.4.3 or later
Installation
You can download a prebuilt installer from the Releases or build one yourself. If using prebuilt installers, just skip to the use section.
Building the installer
- Clone the repo or download a tarball
- Install all prerequisites
python build.pyto compile the program first- Open up the
.issInno Setup script and compile it via Ctrl+F9 orBuild > Compile- installer can be found inOutputfolder
Using the installer
Just run the .exe file, duh.
Testing
This is for people who solely just want to run without installation for mostly testing purposes.
We need the prerequisites above. After getting them, you can run the program with pythonw main.py to run it without flooding your terminal with logging, or you can just run with python main.py to troubleshoot errors and debug it.
