Most python dependencies will be auto-installed by pip.
These are the other dependences required:
Most Linux installations will have what typecat requires. If not, find the necessary packages in your package manager.
Run bash /path/to/typecat/mac-install.sh to install all necessary dependencies with brew. If brew is not installed it will be installed automatically.
Install MSYS2 and run this in msys: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3 mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-gobject
Disclaimer! Due to lack of access to a Windows machine, this installation process has never been tested.
Once the dependencies have been installed, navigate to the typecat github directory and run pip3 install . (you may need root/admin privileges).
You can now run it from anywhere on the system with python3 -m typecat.
While it is currently fully functioning, there remains to be a lot of room for improvement.
