• Keyring:

pip3 install -U keyring

• Pyinstaller (Optional):

pip3 install -U pyinstaller

Installation

Clone the repo

  git clone https://github.com/H00pyFr00d/edinburgh-uni-learn-login.git

Now, create userinfo.txt in the folder you've just created and store your username as follows:

  s2000000

Usage and Installation

 python3 /Users/.../edinburgh-uni-learn-login/main.py

Will prompt the user for their username if they have not already created the userinfo.txt file, and their password if it hasn't already been provided

Creating an executable (MacOS)

In your desktop, create an .exec file:

 #!/bin/sh
 python3 /Users/.../edinburgh-uni-learn-login/main.py
 exit 0

Then give it permission,

 chmod +x /Users/.../open_learn.exec

Notes

1. When running the executable you might get an operation not found error, this could mean that your file's been quarantined.

2. If your shell window stays open after the script's finished running, go to Terminal > Preferences > Profiles > Shell and change the default setting for when the shell exists from "don't close the window" to "close the window"

Creating an executable using pyinstaller (All)

Install pyinstaller (as seen above)

Open a terminal instance and navigate to the edinburgh-uni-learn-login folder

Run the following command:

 pyinstaller main.py --onefile

Your executable will be placed in the folder you've run this command from
