CONTRIBUTING

This program runs on Windows 10 and Debian-based Linux, written in Python 3.9 and updated to version 3.10.6

• Run the setup.py script to build a virtual environment and install all external packages in the created venv.

Examples:
  - Windows: python setup.py venv
  - Linux: python3 setup.py venv

• Once virtual env is built traverse to the (Scripts-Windows or bin-Linux) directory in the environment folder just created.
• For Windows, in the venv\Scripts directory, execute activate or activate.bat script to activate the virtual environment.
• For Linux, in the venv/bin directory, execute source activate to activate the virtual environment.
• If for some reason issues are experienced with the setup script, the alternative is to manually create an environment, activate it, then run pip install -r packages.txt in project root.
• To exit from the virtual environment when finished, execute deactivate.

• Once in the activated virtual environment, enter the directory containing the program and execute in shell.
• To organize files, move files to the directory defined by the SRC_DIR and they will be automatically organized based on file extension.
