pip install isn't working, and I tried manually installing as well. Am I missing something?

PS super dope project!!

Hi! Thanks for your interest in the project! :D It seems that a dependency (n2) of my rendering lib is not supporting windows yet.

You can manually install https://github.com/matrach/img2unicode with commenting out the "n2" from the setup.py file, but only the "block renderers" (also called dual renderers) will work. You will have to use plt.show('block')

Also, if you're using standard Windows terminal, the rendering will look buggy due to a hacky ZERO LENGHT SPACE inserted after every character, in order to fix right-to-left handling by Gnome Terminal – in Windows' cmd it occupies a separate cell. I was going to write some terminal detection to infer whether the RTL-sentinel should be emitted, but... I'm going to do that some day...

Anyway, you're welcome to send PR-s :)

Fixed in 0.1a4. Just update the package :).
