Start on login (autorun)

Use autorun.py after having installed through setup.py to enable the automatic start of WordTime. Run the command python autorun.py enable in your terminal to enable WordTime on login. To disable WordTime autorun, run python autorun.py disable, then you can always reenable it again.

Notice

Do not use standard python that comes with macOS, install python ~2.7 with pip usually in /usr/local/bin/python, for example python from the brew package manager, e.g. brew install python or from the official website.

To stop wordtime press the item and press 'Quit'.

Start from terminal or for using it in terminal

To start the menu bar item from the terminal simply write wordtime or wordtime & to run it int the background in your terminal, make sure to have /usr/local/bin/ in your PATH, This is only for macOS, if you installed it wordtime on another OS, remove /usr/local/bin/wordtime as this executable will only work on macOS.

Other OSs

If you are using another OS, to run it in the terminal run python terminal.py this doesn't need any of the dependencies and works only when in the same directory as the wordtime folder or you have installed it through python setup.py install.
