PORTPY Framework User Guide

Introduction

PORTPY is a portable framework designed for Python, specifically tailored to run on 64-bit versions of Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11. Unfortunately, PORTPY is not compatible with 32-bit systems.

Getting Started

Running PORTPY

Download: Begin by downloading the PORTPY.ZIP file.
Extract: Extract the contents of the ZIP file to your desired location.

Installing Libraries in PORTPY

To install libraries in PORTPY, follow these steps:

Navigate to the PROJECT menu.
Select ADD LIBRARY MANUALLY.

You can install libraries using several methods:

Specific Version: Specify a particular version using the equals operator, e.g., Numpy==1.19.5.
Custom Repository: Install from a custom repository URL, e.g.,
```
torch –index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu124
```

Direct Link: Use a direct link to a .whl file, e.g.,

https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu/torchvision-0.19.1%2Bcpu-cp312-cp312-win_amd64.whl#sha256=8c826a6bd5aca0ec09f1d7122a5491527ad3eb7d733fc81281be6f0c75f9783c

```
C:/some-dir/some-file.whl
```
Listed Libraries: Use the options listed in the PROJECT menu, such as add torch.
Requirement File: Use the from requirement file option to select a requirements.txt file from your project. (Note: This feature may be under development in early versions.)

Opening a Python Project in PORTPY

Navigate to File > Open.
Select the main file of your Python project.

PORTPY automatically sets the default Python path to your project's directory, ensuring that all related folders and files are easily accessible. Simply press the Run button to execute your project. (You may need to install some libraries as required.)
