WhatsApp needs to be installed before running this #11

One of the important prerequirements is that whatsapp is still installed. I thought I could uninstall the app as it leaves sqlite files behind, but that's not the case...

Without Whatsapp installed you'd be just left with "2.11.431 was unexpected at this time." error or similar, as the script fails when it cannot locate Whatsapp version string.

I don't think that's an issue, you need a valid WhatsApp installation and login using your cell number to generate the key.
