4. Create a venv (optional, if you plan on building then this will make binaries lighter)

#on ubuntu, you need to install python3-venv
sudo apt install python3-venv
pip install pyvenv

#On windows, you might need to remove the 3 extension in case it is asking for install from MS Store

python3 src/main.py
#Again, on windows, you might need to remove the 3 extension in case it is asking for install from MS Store

1. Follow steps 1-5 from previous guide
2. If you have created a venv for this build, install Pyinstaller: pip install pyinstaller
