apod_wallpaper

A python script that retrieves the picture from the website https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html and sets it as a wallpaper.

How to use App:

I used pyinstaller to develop an executable for windows and macOs users that don't have python. Place the executable where you want, disable your antivirus, and execute.

How to use Script:

To install python3 library; sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Execute "set_apod_wallpaper.py" with python3. Additionally, beacause apod's website sometimes has a video instead of a picture, you can add an "alternative.jpg" in the same folder as "set_apod_wallpaper.py" which will be used if impossible to retrive astronomy picture of the day.

Script was written in Python3 and should work on most used Os, including macOs, windows, Linux: Cinnamon, Gnome, Mate...
