If you use Gentoo, you can find the ebuild in https://github.com/turulomio/myportage/tree/master/app-office/caloriestracker
If you use another distribution, you nee to install PyQtChart and PyQtWebEngine manually. They aren't in Linux setup.py dependencies due to PyQt5 doesn't use standard setup tools. So for compatibility reasons with distributions like Gentoo, we use this additional step.
pip install PyQtChart
pip install PyQtWebEngine
pip install caloriestracker
You just download caloriestracker-X.X.X.exe and caloriestracker_init-X.X.X.exe and execute them. They are portable apps so they took a little more time to start, be patient.
Install python from https://www.python.org/downloads/ and don't forget to add python to the path during installation.
Open a CMD console
pip install caloriestracker
Now you have in the python scripts path caloriestracker.exe
and caloriestracker_init.exe
If you want to create a Desktop shortcut, for this commands, you can write in console
caloriestracker_shortcuts
Calories Tracker uses PostgreSQL database as its backend. So you need to create a database and load its schema. Just type:
