# google-photos-slideshow

NOTE: this project is in no way affiliated with or sponsored by Google Photos.

## Quickstart
### Option 1 : Python install (preferred)
#### Install
```commandline
pip install google-photos-slideshow
```

#### Run
```commandline
gpss
```
* The first time you run this, it will prompt you for the public url to your google photos album.
* Future runs will use the same album unless you specify a different one using `--url`.

### Option 2 : Executable
* Download the latest `.exe` file release from the Releases tab on GitHub (that way =>). 
* Double click to run.
* The executable is a simple but does not yet have the flexibility of the python package and could be harder to config. 
* Really just meant as an easy Quickstart for users who don't have python installed.
* Uh-oh, Chrome might block the download because it's not a popular download. You can click "Keep" to keep the file but Windows Defender might still block it. Python install is probably easier for now...
