This is written entirely in Python. That means on the one hand that it is totally compatible with all versions of Windows, Mac, and Linux.</div>

On the other hand, it also means you will need to have Python 3 and some related packages installed. That is all free/open source.</div>

And we've written it so that every file related to the harvester is all within on folder tree that you choose to make (aside from Python itself) - nothing written to your Windows registry or such.</div>

Aside from "harvesting" all of the tsv reports for you, it also builds an sqlite database with all of the data, which give you tremendous power to analyze your data across years and vendors. I have several documentation pages about that too, written with librarians,
not sql programmers, in mind.</div>
