```
2. Install Python3:

## FAQ
1. 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.
2. If you encountered the following error message on MacOS:
```
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.
```
Run `brew install tcl-tk` to fix it by upgrading tkinter.
3. If you saw a black window on MacOS, run `brew install python-tk` to fix it by upgrading python tkinter.
