First, make a virtual env to put the files from this repo into.
Then, source the virtual env.
Next, install requirements with pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Then, install viu using cargo with the instructions from https://github.com/atanunq/viu
Next, install w3m. On Debian based distributions, you might use this command: sudo apt install w3m
Now you need to get a client secret file from https://console.developers.google.com/ and save it as client_secret.json
Also, please enable reading emails, marking them as read / unread, and sending emails in the Google API.
Finally, run the program with python3 terminal_gmail_client.py
The program will open a web browser for you to authorize the oauth authentication with Gmail if you are not already authorized.
Then, just follow the instructions in the terminal.
You can safely close the terminal window whenver you want.
The program will exit once it completes the task you've selected.
So, you must run it every time you want to check your unread mail or write an email.
