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>
DRK Blutspende – Arbeitsorte: Dokumentation
Developer/maintainer documentation for the Arbeitsorte-Logger, a small desktop app that records blood-drive work assignments (date + city + postal code) and plots them on an interactive map.
Context: built as a personal tool for a single user, running locally on a Linux Mint laptop. Ease of use for a non-technical user is the primary design constraint. There is no server, no multi-user story, and no network dependency beyond geocoding and the map tiles.
