💻 Installation

You will need...

• 🐍 Python 3
• 🐑 A clone of this repo or a single file download of the script.

▶ Usage

To run this script, pass the file you want to have analyzed as the first parameter:

./mwc.py myfile.md

If that doesn't work, explicitly pass the program to Python:

python mwc.py myfile.md

If this doesn't work, try python3 instead of python.
