Missing prerequisite #1

Closed MathTauAthogen closed 4 years ago

MathTauAthogen commented 4 years ago

The README seems to be missing a prerequisite that it might be good to add.

At least on Ubuntu 18.04, modprobe throws the error (if the commands currently in the README are run in a fresh instance),

modprobe: FATAL: Module v4l2loopback not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.0-42-generic

To fix this, you'll need to install the v4l2loopback-dkms package on your computer. On Ubuntu, the command is sudo apt-get install v4l2loopback-dkms. I will add this installation instruction to the README.
