Easy install
Here are the easy / recommended install options. For more advanced users, you can take a look at the advanced section further down the page.
Install Python
If you don't have the latest version of Python 3 already installed, visit this web site: https://www.python.org/downloads/
Click the big yellow button that says "Download Python 3.n.n" and wait for the download to finish. You should then have a file in your Downloads folder called something like python-3.x.x-macosx.x.pkg.
Double-click on that .pkg file and follow the instructions. You'll have to click Continue a few times, then agree to the software license and click the "Install" button.
The installer will ask for your administrator password. Enter it and click "Install Software". The installation should take just a few minutes.
When you see the "installation was successful" message, click "Close". When asked if you want to move the installer to the trash, click "Yes".
Install ppgen
Decide on a location to install PPgen on your Mac. Then, download and unzip it in the location of your choice as described here:
If you upgrade PPgen later on, you might want to rename the old installation by its version number, before installing the new version. That way you can easily go back to the previous version if something isn't working.
Advanced install options
Other Python options
For more advanced users: you can install Python 3 in any way you wish. Advanced users will probably already know their options (Homebrew, MacPorts, Pyenv, etc).
PPgen requires Python 3. It has no particular requirements beyond that, but you cannot use Python 2.
Installing ppgen using git
If you're comfortable using git, you can simply git clone the wf49670/ppgen project from Github. Future upgrades are a simple "git pull".
