Packaging the GUI with Briefcase

This project uses BeeWare's Briefcase to generate platform‑native installers. Once your development environment is set up, package the GUI by running the following commands from the repository root:

# Create the application scaffold for your platform
briefcase create

# Compile dependencies and produce a distributable bundle
briefcase build

# Run the packaged application
briefcase run

Command Overview

• briefcase create — generates the project scaffold for your operating system. Run this once per platform.
• briefcase build — compiles dependencies and produces the distributable bundle.
• briefcase run — launches the packaged application so you can test it locally.

After the initial creation step you can repeatedly run briefcase build followed by briefcase run to test your packaged application on Windows, macOS or Linux.
