1. Ensure you have python3 installed on your operating system.

2. Clone this repository.

3. Create a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv ./venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   pip3 install -r requirements.txt

4. Run ./cli.py to test

5. Run ./build.sh to build the package. An executable named zoom will be generated in the dist directory. Move this to somewhere on your $PATH to run the command globally.

   • Note: Running this script will also generate a dist/zoom.tar.gz file with the zipped contents of dist/zoom. The script will output a SHA-256 hash of this file in the terminal. This is used for deployment to Homebrew.
