   • users.csv: Insert the user data into the file users.csv or recreate it with the same columns in a spreadsheet software.

3. Start the tool:

   • Windows: doubleclick nc-usermanager.exe (If you have a Python3 environment with all the dependencies/modules installed, you can run the script without the exe-build of course.)
   • Linux / Mac: install all dependencies (https://github.com/t-markmann/nc-usermanager/wiki#install-dependencies-for-running-py-script) and run: python3 nc-usermanager.py
     • Troubleshooting: Make sure the file is executable (https://www.qwant.com/?q=make%20file%20executable%20linux / https://www.qwant.com/?q=make%20file%20executable%20mac)

4. Follow the interactive commandline instructions. Check output.log ("output"-folder in script-directory) and your user overview in Nextcloud.
