Operating System Integration.

I've built (or plan to build) executables for 3 operating systems

operating system	filename
windows	win/cmdai.exe
linux	lin/cmdai
macos	mac/cmdai

Linux

1. Copy the file lin/cmdai to the directory ~/.local/bin/
2. make sure ~./local/bin is in your executable path.

Windows

1. Copy the file win/cmdai.exe to the directory ???
2. make sure ??? is in your executable path.

MacOs

1. Copy the file mac/cmdai to the directory ???
2. make sure ??? is in your executable path.

Building Executables

executables are built using the pyinstaller command:

bash pyinstaller --onefile cmdai.py This command will create an executable called cmdai (cmdai.exe on windows) This file will be in the dist\ directory. You need to copy it to the correct os directory:

operating system	filename
windows	win/cmdai.exe
linux	lin/cmdai
macos	mac/cmdai

Eh Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-That is all Folks!
