🚀 Key Features

// 🔧 merged conflicting changes from codex/populate-gui-text-fields-for-editing vs main

• Interactive setup: voxvera init prompts for metadata or extracts from a PDF form. When editing body text, a small Tkinter GUI window opens with existing content pre-filled, falling back to the user's $EDITOR if the GUI isn't available.
• Template support: voxvera init --template <name> copies built-in templates (blank, voxvera).
• Build assets: voxvera build [--pdf <path>] [--download <file.zip>] generates HTML, obfuscated JS/CSS, QR codes, and bundles PDFs.
• Batch import: voxvera import processes all JSON configs in imports/.
• Onion hosting: voxvera serve publishes via Tor/OnionShare and updates flyer links.
• All-in-one: voxvera quickstart runs init, build, and serve in sequence.
• Dependency check: voxvera check verifies presence of required tools.
• GUI: Minimal Electron wrapper (gui/electron) for non-CLI users.

📥 Fool-Proof Installation

1. Prebuilt Binary (Linux)

# Download and install to $HOME/.local/bin
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin \
  && wget -qO ~/.local/bin/voxvera \
      https://github.com/PR0M3TH3AN/VoxVera/releases/latest/download/voxvera \
  && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/voxvera

# Ensure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH
if ! echo "$PATH" | grep -q "$HOME/.local/bin"; then
  echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
  echo 'Add ~/.local/bin to your PATH and restart your shell.'
fi

2. Homebrew (macOS)

brew tap PR0M3TH3AN/voxvera
brew install voxvera

3. pipx (cross-platform)

pipx install voxvera

4. From Source

# Download the latest-main branch as a tarball
wget -O VoxVera.tar.gz \
  https://github.com/PR0M3TH3AN/VoxVera/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz

# Extract it
tar -xzf VoxVera.tar.gz

# Enter the extracted directory (note the “-main” suffix)
cd VoxVera-main

# Create & activate virtualenv
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# Install editable package
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -e .

After install, verify with voxvera --help.

🛠️ System Dependencies

These tools must be available in your PATH:

ton, onionshare-cli, jq, qrencode, convert (ImageMagick), pdftotext,
node, javascript-obfuscator, html-minifier-terser

Run voxvera check to see missing dependencies.

Placeholder Tor files

The voxvera/resources/tor/* folders only contain small text files named placeholder. VoxVera expects real tor and obfs4proxy binaries in those locations when running voxvera serve or the Electron GUI. Install the tools manually (for example with apt install tor obfs4proxy) and set the environment variables TOR_SOCKS_PORT and TOR_CONTROL_PORT before launching. You may also run scripts/download_tor.sh to fetch prebuilt binaries and replace the placeholders.

---

🎮 GUI (Electron)

cd gui/electron
npm install
voxvera check  # verify dependencies before launching
npm start

Click Quickstart to generate flyers without the terminal. If any tools are missing or the network fails, see docs/troubleshooting.md for fixes.
