This release contains the build tools to create both Mac and Windows installers for the coffeegrindsize app.
More importantly, it contains the generated installers.
The Mac installer is a disk image (DMG). In addition to this being a more familiar way for Mac users to install the app, it also has the following benefits:
- It will work on older macOS versions
- It has an icon (the Coffee ad Astra logo)
- There is a native Apple Silicon version that is faster (if you have the hardware)
The Windows installer is a classic MSI package. This will be much easier for less technical users since they do not have to install Python (or even need to know what Python is).
NOTE: no changes were made to the Python code for this release. In theory, the app should behave exactly as it does with the current usage methods.
Requirements:
coffeegrindsize_v1.0.0_mac.dmg - El Capitan (10.11) or newer (see note below about Big Sur and Monterey)
coffeegrindsize_v1.0.0_mac_arm64.dmg - Apple Silicon hardware running Monterey (12.1x) or newer (see note below about Big Sur and Monterey)
coffeegrindsize_v1.0.0_win.msi - Windows 7 or newer
To install: download the appropriate installer, open it, and follow instructions. You may also want to download and unzip help_and_samples.zip if you didn't download Jonathan's zip package.
Big Sur and Monterey (macOS 11.x, 12.x) note: The first time you do the Control-Click and Open in Applications, there are only two choices: Move to Trash and Cancel. Choose Cancel and then Control-Click Open again. Now there will be an Open button.
