A REPL for editing and analysing chess games. See manual here.

Building

Prerequisites

You need Python 3.12 or later and Poetry. You can install the latter with:

$ pip install poetry

You also need ffmpeg and portaudio installed.

Running in Development Environment

Install the virtual environment with:

$ poetry install

And run it with:

$ poetry run chess-cli

Building

Just run:

$ poetry build
# The result is in the dist directory, install with:
$ pip install dist/*.whl

Building a Windows executable

Inside Powershell, run:

$ .\pyinstaller_windows.bat

The resulting (standalone) executable should be dist/chess-cli.exe.

If you managed to run the program with poetry run chess-cli (as described above), you will land in a REPL with the initial prompt "start: ". To get a list of all commands, enter "help" followed by enter. To get help information about a specific command, run <COMMAND> --help.
