Install PIP dependencies with: PIP dependencies are no longer required as long as common dependencies are satisfied. However, you
can install PIP dependencies with:
```sh ```sh
pip install -r requirements.txt pip install -r requirements.txt
``` ```

git clone https://github.com/JezerM/web-greeter.git git clone https://github.com/JezerM/web-greeter.git
cd web-greeter cd web-greeter
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo make install sudo make install

This will build and install **web-greeter** in a zippy way, which compresses the python code as a zip and uses it as a binary. Either `sudo make install_freeze` to build and install with cx_freeze. The zippy method depends on the actual python interpreter and its libraries, so you could have problems when updating python or removing any dependency, while the cx_freeze method tries to fix this "problem".
