Hi,

I'm on Arch, I think I installed all the necessary requirements, but I get this message. I didn't find a way to print more meaningful error messages. I tried the installation on a venv.

On Arch, you should install it like this: sudo pacman -S rapid-photo-downloader Do not use the install.py script, it is not supported.

My usecase was to contribute not to install it globally. Maybe I missed a contribute guide how to have a write-run-debug work flow didn't see any main

You are correct—I have not written a guide on how to contribute to the project.

Installing into a virtual environment is easy if you have experience with Python. Install the required non-Python packages from Arch, which you can find in the Arch rapid-photo-downloader package. Then install the Python packages into the python virtual environment. Look in the requirements.txt file for the required python packages.
