    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.

      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.

    You should copy the console text and post it as a code block on your post. Not only is this easier to read, it’s searchable for others, and more accessible-friendly, too.

    This script has two python modules as requirements, libevdev and inquirer. If you want to run the script with your systemwide python environment, you can try to find the relevant APT packages (often named python-MODULENAME) to install the modules on your system.

    Alternatively you can create a python virtual environment (you can easily find howtos) and install the requirements in the virtual environment using the pip tool. This way, the requirements will be installed for this project only.

    Also keep in mind to never use pip as sudo, it should not manage your systemwide python modules because it will conflict with your package manager.

    On the Github page you linked it says under Installation: “Clone the repository and install the required dependencies enlisted in requirements.txt.”

    It seems like you didnt do that…
