3. Enter deploy token (if private repo)
4. Script automatically detects requirements and builds environment

Building a PyInstaller App

1. Run the Python project builder
2. If your repo has a .spec file, it builds an executable automatically
3. Otherwise, sets up development environment

Setting Up Remote Development

1. Run SSH server installer (as admin)
2. Run Python project builder (as user)
3. Connect remotely and develop

🚨 Troubleshooting

• Permission Denied: Make sure you're running SSH installer as Administrator
• Download Failed: Check internet connection and firewall settings
• Token Issues: Verify your deploy token has read access to the repository
• Build Failed: Check that all required files are in your repository
