🐍 Setup Guide

Setting up the Python environment for Proxyshop is intended for advanced users, contributors, and anyone who wants to get their hands dirty making a plugin or custom template for the app! This guide assumes you already have Python installed. See the badge above for supported Python versions. 1. Install Poetry with pipx.

2. Clone Proxyshop somewhere on your system, we'll call this the root directory.

cd proxyshop
poetry install
4. Install the fonts included in the fonts/ folder. Do not delete these after install, some are used by the GUI. It is recommended to install all fonts in this folder, but some are technically optional (see About Fonts for more info). 5. Create a folder called art in the root directory. This is where you place art images for cards you wish to render. 6. Run the app.
