sudo apt install git build-essential python3 python3-dev python3-pip libgirepository1.0-dev pkg-config gir1.2-gtk-3.0

Then clone this repository and navigate to it:

Please note that your code must pass tests and follow the coding style defined by the pep8. Flake8 and Black are used on this project to enforce coding style.
