Installation

Beginner (Windows) – one‑click launcher (Recommended)

1. Download latest release ZIP
2. Extract the ZIP
3. Double‑click run_safe_resource_packer.bat
4. The launcher installs Python and dependencies automatically
5. The Console UI opens and guides you through setup

Option 2: Developer setup

git clone https://github.com/ReidenXerx/safe-resource-packer.git
cd safe-resource-packer
pip install -e .

Option 3: Python package (when available)

pip install safe-resource-packer

Option 4: Bundled Release (Recommended for End Users)

• Download bundled release ZIP (includes Python)
• Extract anywhere, run run_safe_resource_packer.bat
• Zero dependencies, completely self-contained

Enhanced CLI (optional):

pip install rich click colorama

Troubleshooting (Windows launchers):

• If PowerShell blocks scripts, use the .bat launcher or see [[Windows_Launcher_Guide]]
• Ensure you have enough free disk space (classification + packaging uses temp space)
