# dupeGuru
[dupeGuru][dupeguru] is a cross-platform (Linux, OS X, Windows) GUI tool to find duplicate files in
a system. It is written mostly in Python 3 and has the peculiarity of using
[multiple GUI toolkits][cross-toolkit], all using the same core Python code. On OS X, the UI layer
is written in Objective-C and uses Cocoa. On Linux, it is written in Python and uses Qt5.
The Cocoa UI of dupeGuru is hosted in a separate repo: https://github.com/arsenetar/dupeguru-cocoa
a system. It is written mostly in Python 3 and uses [qt](https://www.qt.io/) for the UI.
## Current status
Still looking for additional help especially with regards to:
* OSX maintenance: reproducing bugs & cocoa version, building package with Cocoa UI.
* Linux maintenance: reproducing bugs, maintaining PPA repository, Debian package.
* OSX maintenance: reproducing bugs, packaging verification.
* Linux maintenance: reproducing bugs, maintaining PPA repository, Debian package, rpm package.
* Translations: updating missing strings, transifex project at https://www.transifex.com/voltaicideas/dupeguru-1
* Documentation: keeping it up-to-date.

When running in a linux based environment the following system packages or equivalents are needed to build:
* python3-pyqt5
* pyqt5-dev-tools (on some systems, see note)
* python3-wheel (for hsaudiotag3k)
* python3-venv (only if using a virtual environment)
* python3-dev
* build-essential
Note: On some linux systems pyrcc5 is not put on the path when installing python3-pyqt5, this will cause some issues with the resource files (and icons). These systems should have a respective pyqt5-dev-tools package, which should also be installed. The presence of pyrcc5 can be checked with `which pyrcc5`. Debian based systems need the extra package, and Arch does not.
To create packages the following are also needed:

## How to build dupeGuru for macos
These instructions are for the Qt version of the UI on macOS.
*Note: The Cocoa UI of dupeGuru is hosted in a separate repo: https://github.com/arsenetar/dupeguru-cocoa and is no longer "supported".*
