🖥️ THIS IS A STAND ALONE PROGRAM (PLEASE READ)

🚨 IMPORTANT: ELDON-Digital is a stand alone program, not a spreadsheet template. This is a real desktop application with a colorful graphical interface, your very own database, and professional PDF outputs.

❌ You do NOT need Microsoft Excel ❌ You do NOT need Google Sheets ❌ You do NOT need Microsoft Office ❌ You do NOT need a subscription to any cloud service ❌ You do NOT need an internet connection to run the program day to day

✅ You ONLY need Python (the free programming language). Python is 100% free, takes about five minutes to install from the official website at python.org, and works on every Windows and Mac computer made in the last decade. The User Guide includes step by step screenshots that walk you through the install in plain language. If you can install a web browser, you can install Python.

After Python is installed, you simply double click Open Program.bat (Windows) or Open Program.command (Mac) and the colorful ELDON-Digital window opens on your screen, ready to use.
