Check if python and pip are installed

$ python -V
Python 3.9.1   # Output should be the version of python installed

$ pip -V
pip 20.3.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip (python 3.9) # More output 

From the Main Page:

Installation

1.

   pip install pywalfox
   pywalfox install
  1. Get the Pywalfox add-on for

    • Firefox
    • Thunderbird
  2. Restart Firefox and/or Thunderbird

  3. Click the Pywalfox icon in the Firefox/Thunderbird UI to access the theme settings and click "Fetch Pywal colors". A theme matching your Pywal colors should now be applied.

The Python package installed through pip is the Pywalfox native messaging application, which fetches your Pywal colors for the Pywalfox add-on to use with the Theme API.

Please review the Troubleshooting section if something is not working correctly.


You can check if pywalfox is in your PATH

$ which pywalfox
/usr/local/bin/pywalfox   # As long as you don't see `pywalfox not found` you're good

Keep the discussion to the original issue #58. This is not really related to pywalfox, but rather an issue with your setup.
