From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You need to install Python package dependencies.
pip install -r requirements.txt
is the simplest way to do it, but that unfortunately installs the packages globally. May be wise to use a virtual environment.Would
pip install --user -r requirements.txt
not be OK, too? I understand it's not as isolated as a virtual environment, but it's easy.Use pipx.
It needs to be installed globally or as root, as the script runs under root. Pip does not like being run with different permissions or as different users not at all tho.
