All of these instructions were written for Windows, using git bash as the terminal. I'm running Python 3.12.6

Setup

1. Clone the repository, set as working directory in terminal
2. Set up and activate a python virtual environment

python -m venv .venv
. .venv/Scripts/activate

3. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Modify port argument in main.py, if necessary
5. Run the conversion server: python main.py

Usage

The server accepts POST requests containing ppt and pptx files at the /pptx-to-pdf endpoint.

The server also accepts a POST request containing the pptx file at the /extract-pptx-text endpoint.

For example usage, see test.py
