manage-env

Simple GUI program to manage environment variables in linux.

Installation

Download program from release page, then extract the archive to your desired folder. Create symlink of manage-env-bin to $HOME/.local/bin or $HOME/bin depending on your distro, so you can invoke the program directly from terminal.

Append this code below to .bashrc and .profile file,

if [ -f ~/.environment ]; then
	set -a
	source ~/.environment
	set +a
fi

then try to logout and login your system. The program has been tested in debian 12 bookworm.

Build from source

Requirements:

1. Python (>= 3.11.10)
2. PyQt5/PyQt6/PySide6 (latest)
3. cx-freeze (latest)
4. make (to automate the convertion of ui files to py files and build executable)

Build steps

1. Download the source code from release page then extract it, or clone this repo

   git clone git@github.com:Noertri/manage-env.git

2. Create virtual environment and activate it

   python3 -m venv path/to/yourenv
   source path/to/yourenv/bin/activate

3. Change directory to source code folder and run command below to install all requirements

   pip3 install -r requirements.txt

4. Convert .ui files to .py files, run

   make all

5. Build the program, run

   make build

   or

   python3 setup.py build

6. Optionally run this command

   make clean

   this command will delete unnecessary files/library files in folder build to reduze the size.

You can also use PyQt6/PySide6 but you need to change some changes of the Makefile.
