I am far from python savvy so if this is a simple error on my part, I apologize.

I have installed the necessary software and get the following error.

$ python3.7 ~/Repositories/Pubmed-Batch-Download/fetch_pdfs.py -pmids 31336898
Output directory of fetched_pdfs did not exist. Created the directory.

Fixed it by getting the necessary libraries installed.
