This is just some examples to use the NimBank Tool...
This tool is a command line script (no gui). So use your terminal...

On windows Python3 is not installed with the OS. I don't use Windows so I can't help you to install Python but there's a lot of tutorial on the web...
On macOS Monterey Python3 is already installed.
Launch a terminal and launch NimBank.
  • Select the NimBank.py files and drop to the terminal
You can have sometink like that :
$ python3 /Users/me/Downloads/NimBank.py
