You can grab the Tuner source from http://github.com/srynot4sale/freeems-tuner/tree/devtrunk (click the download button).

Please note: You are downloading either a .tar.gz or a .zip archive, so you will need to extract the files from this archive before being able to run the Tuner. For Windows users I recommend http://www.7-zip.org/

Python is a scripting language so does not need to be compiled before running.

Once you have the above installed, you can run main.py, it should open a Graphical User Interface that allows you to test and tune your EMS. Right now it does does communications, and is being developed.

Extract the zip or tar, then run the main.py script

python main.py
