Because of that I'll mostly reply to issues and PRs there, you can submit issues and PRs on GitHub, but it might take longer before I read it.
## Installing
### The little tiny easier route
Installing and running PyWebServer is very simple.
First off, download the latest release from the 'Releases' tab, choose the Zip variant if unsure.
When it's done downloading, unpack the files in a directory of choice, for the purpose of this README,
I've chosen `./pywebserver/` (for Windows: `.\pywebserver\`).
From there, open up your favorite text editor and open the file `pywebsrv.conf` in the directory you unpacked PyWebServer.
In there, you should see this somewhere:
```
# Here you choose what directory PyWebServer looks in for files.
directory:<Enter directory here>
```
After the colon, enter your directory where you have your website stored.
After that, make sure you have installed Python. Here's how you can install Python:
Linux:
```bash
sudo apt install python3 # Debian / Ubuntu
sudo dnf install python3 # Fedora / Nobara
sudo pacman -S python3 # Arch and derivatives.
```
macOS:
```bash
brew install python3
```
Windows:
```powershell
# You can change the `3.12` with whatever version you want/need.
winget install -e --id Python.Python.3.12 --scope machine
```
Then, in the terminal window you have open, go to the directory you unpacked PyWebServer and type this:
```
python3 ./pywebsrv.py
# For Windows users, if the above command doesn't work, try this:
py ./pywebsrv.py
```
And there you go! You've now set up PyWebServer!

So that means that 1.0 will still be supported when 1.1 comes out, but no longer be supported when 1.2 comes out.
### 2.x
I am planning on releasing a 2.x version with will have a lot more advanced features, like nginx's server block emulation amongst other things.
When 2.0 will come out, the last version of 1.x will be supported for a while longer, but no new features will be added.
When 2.0 will come out, 1.x will be developed further, but 2.0 will be the main focus.
