• Check out the official kivy documentations to install kivy

• Then install dependencies

  • Linux

    python -m pip install -r requirements-linux.txt
    

  • Windows

    python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
    

  • The project uses a dependency pdf2image for converting PDFs to PIL image objects. Visit their github repository for more info on how to set it up.

• Run the app with

  python run.py
  

• Pyinstaller 3.1+ is required for compiling the source code into an executable file (.exe for Windows). The same instructions apply to bundling for Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux. Pyinstaller should be installed using pip:

    python -m pip install pyinstaller

• UPX is also recommended but not required. It is a free utility that significantly compresses the executable. You can download the latest version for your os here. After installation, make sure that upx.exe is available in your $PATH environment variable.

• Execute the spec file in your terminal

    pyinstaller sms.spec

or to avoid the prompt for modifying the dist folder if it already exists, execute the spec file with the --noconfirm flag.

    pyinstaller --noconfirm sms.spec

• Pyinstaller creates 2 folders, a build and dist folder. The bundled app can be found in the dist folder.
