Install Python3:\n   ```sh\n   winget install python3\n   ```\n\n### Linux\n\n1. Install Python3:\n   ```sh\n   sudo apt update \u0026\u0026 sudo apt install -y python3\n   ```\n\nMake sure you have a Desktop (i.e., Display Manager).\n\n### MacOS\n\n1. Install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):\n   ```sh\n   /bin/bash -c \"$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)\"\n   ```\n2. Install Python3:\n   ```sh\n   brew install python3\n   ```\n3. Update Tkinter:\n   ```sh\n   brew install tcl-tk\n   brew install python-tk\n   ```\n\n## Launch From Source\n\n```sh\ngit clone https://github.com/j3soon/ScreenSnipCam.git\ncd ScreenSnipCam\n# (Optional) Create a virtual environment\npip install -r requirements.txt\npython screensnipcam/screensnipcam.py\n# Or specify the screenshot directory\npython screensnipcam/screensnipcam.py --path=.\n```\n\n## FAQ\n\n1. If the screen snip file only shows the MacOS desktop wallpaper without any window, please [allow Screen Recording](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/control-access-to-screen-recording-on-mac-mchld6aa7d23) for ScreenSnipCam or the Terminal.\n\n2. If you encountered the following error message on MacOS:\n\n   ```\n   DEPRECATION WARNING: The system version of Tk is deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Please don't rely on it. Set TK_SILENCE_DEPRECATION=1 to suppress this warning.\n   ```\n\n   Run `brew install tcl-tk` to fix it by upgrading tkinter.\n\n3. If you saw a black window on MacOS, run `brew install python-tk` to fix it by upgrading python tkinter.\n\n## Related Works\n\n- [GifCam](https://blog.bahraniapps.com/gifcam/): Record screen to gif with a virtual camera window, Windows only.
