Installation
To be able to use freetype python, you need the freetype library version 2 installed on your system.
Mac users
Freetype should be already installed on your system. If not, either install it using homebrew or compile it and place the library binary file in ‘/usr/local/lib’.
Linux users
Freetype should be already installed on your system. If not, either install relevant package from your package manager or compile from sources and place the library binary file in ‘/usr/local/lib’.
