	python3 regbot.py		python3 regbot.py

	~~== Run the GUI ==~~

	~~=== The python version ===~~

	~~In the regbot_gui directory, run the regbot.py script.~~

	* On Linux, this command line should work:

	~~cd regbot_gui~~
	~~python3 regbot.py~~

	* On Windows

	~~Find the directory in your file browser (Stifinder)~~

	~~Start the file 'regbot.py' - maybe create a shortcut on the desktop.~~

	~~If there are errors about libraries, then check if they are installed (from the list above).~~

	~~=== Regbot.exe for Windows ===~~

	~~A windows executable is generated (using the instructions below); this is found in a subdirectory called "dist".~~

	~~> cd Downloads~~
	~~> cd regbot~~
	~~> cd regbot_gui~~
	~~> cd dist~~
	~~> regbot~~

	~~Use the browser to locate the file and execute it.~~
	~~It also holds all the needed python-libraries, so it takes a long time to start.~~

	~~The regbot.exe file is made on a Windows 10 (I don't have anything newer if there are problems; revert to the Python version)~~

	~~NB! the version from 2022 does not work anymore; it has to have a date from 2023.~~

	~~=== Regbot GUI use===~~

	~~See the [[User interface]]~~

	~~== Make a windows EXE file ==~~

	~~If you installed all the python stuff, you don't need the exe file.~~

	~~To make a single exe-file without the need to install anything, then it is a bit more complicated (for me at least)~~

	~~===Install python===~~

	* Install python (tested with version 3.8) from https://www.python.org/downloads/ - select 'all users' in install options and also select 'add to path'.

	~~After installation, start 'cmd' terminal windows as administrator (right-click on 'cmd' and select 'as administrator') to install additional packages using 'pip'.~~

	~~> pip install pyqt5~~
	~~> pip install pyqtgraph~~
	~~> pip install pyserial~~
	~~> pip install pyinstaller~~
	~~> exit~~

	~~===Generate EXE file ===~~

	~~Open a 'cmd' terminal window as a normal user~~

	~~Then make the EXE-file from the directory with the REGBOT GUI~~

	~~> cd Downloads\regbot_gui~~
	~~> pyinstaller --onefile regbot.py~~

	~~This takes some time, and the regbot.exe should be found in a 'dist' subdirectory.~~

	~~Try:~~
	~~> cd dist~~
	~~> regbot.exe~~

	~~PS! tried also with Python 3.9, but regbot.exe failed with the error: "PyQt5.sip not found".~~
