### Troubleshooting
#### The notification does not appear on my desktop
There is some problem with the env var `DISPLAY` or check the permision of your supervisorfile. You can see the discussion on this thread https://github.com/jcarizza/drosh/issues/3
#### Pyperclip could not find a copy/paste mechanism for your system
Maybe you need some extra requirements, Pyperclip uses gtk or PyQt4 to access the paper clim. https://github.com/asweigart/pyperclip/blob/master/docs/introduction.rst
