[!TIP] If you are just looking for a ready-to-go application, just go to releases and you can find bundled distributions of the app. The following section is primarily for those who would prefer to You will need Python, and I recommend creating a virtual environment just for this application, for info on setting up a virtual environment see this: https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html

1. Download the card art here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12OxKjOa3NmDUt2yFM7HZ28E7sQ7uEecP/view?usp=drive_link
2. Extract and place the rsc/ folder you just downloaded into the root directory of this project.
3. Create and activate a virtual environment in the root directory of this project
4. pip install -r requirements.txt
5. python pkmn_overlay.py

To build the exes using Nuitka first install it:

pip install nuitka
