Split install for non-admin users
The target laptop account has no sudo. install.sh now runs without root once the system packages exist; if they're missing and the account can't sudo it prints the exact command and stops. New install-system.sh holds the one-time "sudo apt install python3-tk python3-venv git" for an admin account. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## 2026-09-07 — install split for non-admin users
|
||||
|
||||
The target account has no sudo, so install is two scripts:
|
||||
|
||||
- `install-system.sh` – admin runs once: `apt install python3-tk python3-venv git`.
|
||||
- `install.sh` – user runs, **no sudo**: checks the system packages, creates
|
||||
`.venv` + installs `requirements.txt`, writes the `.desktop` menu entry. If a
|
||||
package is missing and the account can't sudo, it prints the exact admin
|
||||
command and stops.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2026-09-07 — one-command install + launcher
|
||||
|
||||
- `install.sh` – one-time Linux Mint setup: apt packages, `.venv` +
|
||||
`requirements.txt`, and a `.desktop` menu entry with correct absolute paths.
|
||||
- `install.sh` – Linux Mint setup: `.venv` + `requirements.txt`, and a
|
||||
`.desktop` menu entry with correct absolute paths.
|
||||
- `run.sh` – launches the app from `.venv`; the menu entry calls this.
|
||||
- `icon.png` – bundled red-cross launcher/window icon (256×256); the app now
|
||||
prefers this over the runtime-drawn one.

The target user's account is a **Standard** account (no sudo). Install is
|
||||
therefore two steps: one system step by an admin, then the rest by the user.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1 — system packages (admin account, once)
|
||||
|
||||
`python3-tk`, `python3-venv` and `git` are system packages. From an account with
|
||||
admin rights (Patrick's):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /path/to/DRK_Blutspende_Orte
|
||||
./install-system.sh # sudo apt install python3-tk python3-venv git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Skip this if those three are already present.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2 — the app (user account, no sudo)

||||
|
||||

||||
mkdir -p ~/Apps && cd ~/Apps

sudo, it installs them; otherwise it prints the exact `install-system.sh`

||||
2. creates `.venv` and installs the pinned `requirements.txt`,

## What the pieces are
|

|
||||
| File | Purpose |
|
||||
|------|---------|
|
||||
| `install.sh` | one-time setup (above). Safe to re-run. |
|
||||
| `install-system.sh` | admin, once: `apt install python3-tk python3-venv git`. |
|
||||
| `install.sh` | user, no sudo: venv + deps + menu entry. Safe to re-run. |
|
||||
| `run.sh` | launches the app from `.venv`; the `.desktop` entry calls this. |
|
||||
| `icon.png` | bundled launcher/window icon (red cross). Replace with the real DRK logo if wanted. |
|
||||
| `requirements.txt` | fully pinned, tested on Python 3.12. |
