How to install Sloth Web 3.0

Open Terminal (Spotlight → Terminal) and paste:

chmod +x ~/Downloads/installer_mac.sh
~/Downloads/installer_mac.sh

If the file is not in Downloads, drag it onto the Terminal window to fill in the path.

Or skip the file entirely (might not work):

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/parkertripoli-wq/sloth-web/main/installer_mac.sh)"

When it finishes:

• New Terminal window, type sloth-web, or
• Open Sloth Web in your Applications folder (user Applications).

File to use: installer_windows.bat

1. Save it to Downloads. Do not open it in Notepad.
2. Double-click installer_windows.bat.
3. If SmartScreen appears: More info → Run anyway.
4. If it asks to install Python, check Add python.exe to PATH.
5. Wait until it says installed. Press any key to close.

When it finishes:

• Desktop shortcut Sloth Web, or Start Menu → Sloth Web
• Or Command Prompt: python %USERPROFILE%\SlothWeb\SlothWeb.py

File to use: installer_linux.sh

1. Open a terminal in the folder where you saved the file (often Downloads).
2. Run:

chmod +x installer_linux.sh
./installer_linux.sh

It may ask for your password (sudo) to install Python / Qt libraries.

When it finishes:

• sloth-web in a terminal (if ~/.local/bin is on PATH)
• or python3 ~/SlothWeb/SlothWeb.py
• or the desktop / app-menu icon

Skip the installer. Save SlothWeb-3.0.py then:

python -m pip install PyQt6 PyQt6-WebEngine requests
python SlothWeb-3.0.py

On Mac/Linux use python3 if python is not found.

• TextEdit / Notepad opened — you opened the script as a document. Use Terminal / double-click .bat / run chmod +x as above.
• Permission denied on Mac/Linux — you skipped chmod +x.
• PyQt / QtWebEngine missing — the installer should pip-install PyQt6. Re-run it, or run the pip line in the previous section.
• python is not recognized (Windows) — install Python and tick Add to PATH, then open a new Command Prompt and run the installer again.
