If you don't trust using a precompiled executable from some random person on the internet (and who could blame you? 😅), no worries — compile it yourself! Or be brave and use the ready-made EXE.

Option A — Build locally (for the skeptics) 🛠️

Short steps (Windows / cross-platform):

Open a terminal in this folder (SDR).
(Recommended) Create & activate a virtualenv:


python  -m  venv  .venv

# Windows

.venv\Scripts\activate

# Linux / macOS

source  .venv/bin/activate

Install runtime deps (optional; the builder can auto-install PyInstaller):


pip  install  -r  requirements.txt

Run the builder GUI and follow prompts (it can auto-install PyInstaller and optionally download UPX):


python  build_exe.py

# or use the shortcut on Windows

build_exe.bat

The GUI will:

Let you bump/sync versions (sdr_launcher.py + modules).
Offer to install PyInstaller if missing.
Offer to download UPX (optional compression).
Produce the final executable in dist/.

Option B — Use the prebuilt EXE (for the daring) 🧾

Check the latest release of sdr_launcher.exe

Safety notes 🛡️

If you don't trust the prebuilt EXE, use Option A and compile the code yourself.
If you decide to build locally, inspect the source code and preferably use a clean virtualenv.
The builder can auto-install tools, but it will always ask for confirmation before installing.
