Help me to make it work with windows please

[thegreat7man]

hi all,I can't find any archives with windows version. I tried to download main archive and start .bat but nothing happened. I've installed python and have new windows 10

For ease of life you may want to use Kitty Printer instead, which is a simple Web app: https://print.unseen-site.fun/
(its source code is at https://github.com/NaitLee/kitty-printer)

Nowadays Cat Printer is primarily for devs to hack with automation.

thank you for respond! can I make it work offline ?

[NaitLee]

Kitty Printer is still the easist to get to work locally:

• install Deno
• clone kitty-printer repository, or simply download its source code
• inside the source code directory, run the command deno task start to have a local service you can use offline

I will come back later with how to get Cat Printer to work. It became complicated nowadays.

To get Cat Printer to work:

• Install python & pip, clone this repository with git
• Install bleak with this command: pip install bleak
• After that, in the source code directory, execute py server.py to have the web interface, or py printer.py for a command line interface.
• In case you have installed python from microsoft store, the pip is automatically installed, and you need to use python instead of py.
• Probably python already have associated .py files. You can just double-click on server.py to have a web interface.

(Thankfully windows isn't affected by newest pip behavior that requires a virtual environment...)
