This is the software I am building to automate my budget and expense spreadsheets. It currently handles expenses and a theme/layout I have used for my personal finance spreadsheets for years.
- .NET 8 SDK if not using a release build
- Install Git (optional)
- Powershell, CMD for Visual Studio, or Visual Studio (Linux use not currently supported, but it may still work)
git clone https://github.com/TPi-Home/Budget.git
cd Budget
If you accidentally closed out of the CLI: Right click inside the Budget root directory from File Explorer, then click open with terminal.
Run to restore ClosedXML dependencies via Nuget:
dotnet restore
Then build:
dotnet build
Then run:
dotnet run
Alternatively, you can open the .SLN file and build/run from there.
