Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before you can build and run the Post Machine simulation program, you will need to have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

• C++ compiler that supports C++17 or later.
• Qt development libraries (Qt 6 or later).
• CMake (version 3.0 or later).

Building

Follow these steps to build the Post Machine simulation program:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/adidvar/PostMachine.git

2. Change to the project directory:

   cd PostMachine 

3. Create a build directory:

   mkdir build
   cd build

4. Generate the build files using CMake:

   cmake ..

5. Build the program:

   make

Running

Once the program is built successfully, you can run it using the following command:

./PostMachine

Usage

1. Use GUI to setting up Post Machine.
2. Run Post Machine and watch how it work.
3. Export and import Post Machine configurations using the provided options.
