Prerequisites

Install Python 3 from https://www.python.org/downloads/. When installing, make sure to check "Add Python 3 to PATH". After installing Python 3, run the following in a terminal:

• pip3 install requests lxml pyqt5

Setup

• Download the repository zip file (Clone or download > Download ZIP)
• Extract the zip and open 'config.py' (with a text editor)
  • If you installed Python 3 from python.org, you should be able to edit with IDLE.
• Edit the TERM variable to reflect the term you're registering for
• Edit the CRNS variable to reflect which courses you want to monitor
• Edit the URL variable to reflect which college system to search in
• If you encounter errors with waitlist detection (happens with some courses), set WLDIS to True
• Save, and close

Instructions

• Inside the downloaded folder, double-click on gtcoursewatch. (Windows users, double-click on gtcwlauncher).
• Accept any security warnings.
  • On Windows, if SmartScreen blocks gtcwlauncher, click "More Info", then click "Run Anyway".
  • On macOS, instead of double-clicking, you may have to right-click and then click 'Open' to get past the security warning.
  • On Linux distros, if prompted, click "Run in terminal".
• Profit. When GT Course Watch detects that there is a seat available in any of the classes you chose, it will send you a notification on your computer.
