Run the LPI Exam Simulator on Windows.

From the repository root (Command Prompt or PowerShell):

Command Prompt:

windows\run.bat

PowerShell:

.\windows\run.ps1

The launcher finds the repo root, checks for qst.txt, and runs the PyQt6 app. It uses .venv or venv if present, otherwise python or py.

1. Clone and enter the repo

   git clone https://github.com/anpa1200/lpi.git
   cd lpi

2. Optional: virtual environment

   python -m venv .venv
   .venv\Scripts\activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run

   windows\run.bat

   or in PowerShell:

   .\windows\run.ps1

If you build a standalone Windows executable (e.g. with PyInstaller), place it in this folder or in a subfolder (e.g. windows\build\) and run it from the repository root so it can find qst.txt, or configure the build to embed/bundle the question bank.

Example layout:

lpi/
  windows/
    run.bat
    run.ps1
    README.md
    build/          (optional: place your .exe here)
      LPIExam.exe
  qst.txt
  ...

Run the .exe from the repo root so qst.txt is in the current directory, or set the working directory to the repo root in your shortcut/build.

• Python 3.8+ and PyQt6 for the GUI (LPIExam.py).
• On Windows, python or py must be on PATH.
