For Mac

• For Mac production build, following npm run make, unzip output file, then contents of dist/processing generated from pyinstaller needs to be copied to scpannotation.app/Contents/Resources/processing/.
• Permissions of processing must also be set so is executable by user. Otherwise, file isn't executable within app.asar.
• scpannotation.app can be renamed 'SCPSampleAnnotationWizard' (spaces in title aren't recommended), favicon added, then zipped together with /processing/README.xlsx for distribution.

For Windows

• Check file paths of inno/scpannotator.iss.
• inno/scpannotator.iss can then be used with Inno Setup to create a Windows installer.
