On macOS Monterey Python3 is already installed.
Launch a terminal and launch NimBank.
  • Select the NimBank.py files and drop to the terminal
You can have sometink like that :
$ python3 /Users/me/Downloads/NimBank.py

Use 'NiMBank.py -h' for help
Be careful, this script is deliver "as is" and the manipulation is at your own risk.This script is write with reverse ingeenering. It's not write by NI or with NI Information. Save your files before.
