While installing, it's better to check `Add Python 3.X to PATH`(just as the screenshot showed below), otherwise it needs to be set manually which may cause some time wasting
If you are new to Python or not very familiar to Computer Programming, and having the disk space in your PC's System Partition (usually C:) of 150 MB, you can directly choose *Install Now*.
However, if you want to do it like a pro, choosing *Customize Installation*, it's a necessary to be sure to check `pip` and `py launcher` will be installed on your computer(see screenshot below). The two options is required for the next step of installing the requirements.
After the installation, you can enter in your terminal(CMD/PowerShell/Bash/etc): "python" to ensure whether the installation was successful. If it was, your terminal will show things like below:
- If Git is not installed, you can download the zip package from the code page(from [GitHub](https://github.com/EillesWan/Musicreater.git) or [Gitee](https://gitee.com/EillesWan/Musicreater.git)).

We have supported the function of making progress bar in *Minecraft*'s music player. And also the method of customize them. So the following instructions are about the parameters of the Progress Bar Customizition.
A Progress Bar, of course, is composed of **changeless** parts and **changable** parts. And the changable parts include texts or *images*(these images are made up of texts, or we can say, character paintings 😁). That is, for *Minecraft*, a changable image in a progress bar is just the "bar" part(which is like a stripe).
We use a string to describe the style of progress bar you need, and it includes many **identifier**s to replace the changable parts.
| `%%N` | Music name(file name which is imported into program) |
| `%%s` | Value of scoreboard of now |
| `%^s` | Max value of scoreboard |
| `%%t` | Current playback time |
| `%^t` | Total music time |
| `%%%` | Current playback progress |
| `_` | To be replaced by the *Bar* part of the progress bar |
The `_` is a placeholder to identifying the *bar* part, yeah, just the changable image.
This is an example of **style description string**, and this is also the default style of *Musicreater*'s progress bar.
`▶ %%N [ %%s/%^s %%% __________ %%t|%^t]`
This is a progress bar with only one line, but it is possible if you want to give a multiline parameter into the style description string.
But the string above is only for style identification, but we also need to identifying the changable image's image(just what the bar's look).
A "bar", simply, included 2 parts: *Have Been Played*&*Not Been Played*. So we use a tuple to pass the parameter. It's under a simple format: `(str: played, str: not)`. For example, the default parameter is below:
`('§e=§r', '§7=§r')`
So it's time to combine what I said in one parameter now!
