How to...

Install:

  • Windows: Download the .exe installer, run it and choose a folder where to install the software. After the install has finished, run "enLibraryParrotex.exe".
  • Source code: Download "enLibaryParrotex.py" and put it into an empty folder (when updating replace older version). Afterwards run the file.

Update:

  • To update follow the same instructions as for installation.
  • It's recommended to back up the data files (books.csv, cards.json, ids.json, help.txt) before updating, afterwards place them in the same folder as the main file.
  • You only need to update when the newest version is different from the one you're using (you can check that at the splash screen).
  • BEWARE! If the first number in the newest version (1 for 1.4) isn't the same as the one you're using, it's possible that your data files will have to be updated as well. Check the changelog for more info on that.

Remove: Use "unins000.exe" (if you used the .exe installer), afterwards delete the folder it's been installed in to delete the data files left behind by the software as well (books.csv, cards.json, ids.json, help.txt) unless you plan on keeping them.
