Installation and Settings

Android

• Install from Google Play Store
• Install from Huawei AppStore
• Install from APK file (Subscribe to this Telegram channel to get notifications about the APK file updates.)

Windows

Installation steps

1. Install Python from the Microsoft Store using this link.
2. Download and unpack the archive with the program.
3. Run the Rocket Ministry.vbs file.

An icon will appear on your desktop that you may use to launch the program from now on.

Linux

1. Install Python 3.10, if not already installed (you can try another version, but the program was tested on Python 3.10; newer versions run the risk of not being supported by the Kivy library).

On Debian/Ubuntu/Mint, this is done with two commands:

sudo apt-get install python3.10

sudo apt-get install python3.10-tk

2. Download and run the web installer rm_install.py and follow its prompts. A folder containing the Rocket Ministry files will appear in the location you selected.

3. Open a terminal in the application folder and type:

python3.10 main.py

You can also assign python3 to launch .py files and create a desktop icon for quick launch, a PNG icon file is included.

Mac

1. Install Python 3.9.7 for Mac from python.org.
2. Download the web installer rm_install.py.
3. Open IDLE shell and run the installer (Open → Run Module) through it. Follow the installer's prompts.
4. When the installation is complete, run main.py file in the same way.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of testing on Mac, launching the program is currently only possible through IDLE, and the program interface is not the most optimal, but yet quite functional.

Data Synchronization and Transfer

Rocket Ministry data can be exported and imported in a plain text file, which will be called Rocket Ministry Data.txt. On a mobile device, this file is saved to the Documents folder on your device. On a PC, you can select the folder yourself. To save data, open program settings (three bars in the top-right corner) → Data → Save. The saved file can be uploaded to the cloud, sent to someone via messenger, etc. To load data from a file, select Download and locate the required file in your device memory or a cloud service.

Two tips for advanced PC users

Install Google Drive on your computer. In the program folder, the database is located in the data.jsn file. If you install the Google Drive client on your computer and place Rocket Ministry folder in a path that syncs with Google Drive, this file will be constantly synced to the cloud. So now, on your phone you will have access to the up-to-date version of the file at any time.

Create file sync.ini. If you create a file named sync.ini in the program folder on your computer and write in it the absolute path to a file (for example, c:\Users\john\Desktop\mydata.txt), then the application will automatically export data to this file every time on exit. This file will always contain an up-to-date copy of your data, which can be put in a path that is synchronized with Google Drive or any other cloud service.

FAQ

What does the dark gray color of the apartment mean and how do I set it?

An apartment becomes dark gray when it contains any information (even a note or a phone number), but you have not assigned any color status to it. This can happen if on your first call you did not click on the color button, but simply quit using the Back button. It is like a temporary color until you set a normal, full-fledged status. For this reason, it cannot be assigned explicitly. But if you still want to do it, it is technically possible if you 1) reset the apartment to unvisited status (by choosing a light gray color), 2) create any entry, and 3) press the Back button.

I forgot to turn off the timer, and more time was recorded.

Just adjust your report time manually by entering the desired number in the time counter on the Report page. You can enter any number up to zero. If you do not know exactly how many hours you have at the moment, open Report → Log, where all report updates are tracked. For example, you will see there at which time you last started the timer.

There was some kind of failure, and I lost some of the data (or all of it), what should I do?

Open Settings → Data and click Recover. Choose a backup copy you want to recover. If the recovery did not lead to the desired result, stop working with the program, do not make any changes, and contact support.

Why rocket? 🚀

Firstly, do not take the name too seriously 😅 Secondly, users from certain countries will appreciate the absence of religious terminology both in the app itself and in its name. But the rocket also reflects speed - the main idea underlying the program. Three pillars of Rocket Ministry: speed, simplicity and ergonomics. We are in the ministry to talk to people, not to fill out forms and reports like in a tax office. Therefore, all operations and the entire app interface were designed having in mind the minimum possible number of clicks and even finger movements along the screen. This is one of the few (if not the only one) ministry application where the developers have seriously thought about ergonomics, for example one-handed work. This is the only mobile app known to the developers where all the first call details are filled in on one page without any jumps, confirmations, or extra dialogs. This is perhaps the most optimized ministry app in terms of usability.
