Just place thyme.exe into a directory where it has write access to (preferably an empty directory).
Launching it will create a database folder and a project_names.txt file where Thyme stores and
reads its information.
All files can be opened and edited with a simple text editor even while Tyhme is running.
This can be useful for quick time corrections in today__timesheet.txt or adding/removing
project names in project_names.txt.

Assuming we have Git installed first we need to clone and initialize this repository via:
git clone https://github.com/kerskuchen/thyme.git --recursive
Assuming we have Rust installed and can run cargo commands we can
build a release version by just running
cargo run --package ct_executable_packager
This creates a new folder named windows_shipping which contains the final executable ready to run
with all needed resources.
If we have the Resource Hacker tool in our %PATH the
above command script will also set a launcher icon and version information for our
executable.
We can build a debug version by running the usual cargo build command. The
Rust website has good information about how to start development
with Rust.
For development it is a good idea to check out the cottontail submodule on the master branch via
cd cottontail
git checkout master
That will make sure that we don't accidentally commit something to cottontail in the
detached HEAD state.
