2. Authorization via login/password to FNS personal account or ESIA/Gosuslugi (no passwords are stored in the progam, only SessionId is stored - you may check in source code)
(you will need to install additional dependencies to use these function - packages `pyzbar` and `Pillow`)
- *experimental* category recognition for goods in slip with help of `tensorflow`
### Installation
*jal* was created to be portable and cross-platform. Thus you have several ways to install and run the program:
- You may get file archive from [the GitHub repository](https://github.com/titov-vv/jal), unpack it into suitable directory on your PC and use `run.py` to start application.
In order to succeed this way you need to have Python 3.8.1 and satisfy all dependencies listed in `requirements.txt`.
- You may use installation package with `pip install jal` command. It will take care about dependencies automatically and will install `jal` entry point* to run the program.
Alternatively you may use `python -m jal.jal` if you can't run application with `jal` entry point.
- You may mix two methods together - download source files from github and then use `setup.py` for preferred way of installation.
Database will be initialized automatically with minimal required set of data and you will be able to start use the program.
* - entry point location is platform dependable. Eg. on Linux it might be in `~/.local/run`, on Windows - `Scripts` directory of your python installation.
### Screenshots
Qt have a better look on Linux out of the box. Here is main program window:
The same window on Windows - the same functions with a bit different look:
Accounts are be arranged in groups (Cash, Cards, Investments, etc), each account holds one currency.
Below is a view of main window where one account is chosen ('Mastercard') and account select/edit window is opened on top:
Example of investment account view with Buy, Sell and Dividend operations recorded (there is an asset select/edit window on top):
'Holdings' tab contains portfolio overview (You display account and portfolio balances for any date).
Holdings are grouped by currencies and then by accounts.
Examples of reports are below:
