Installation Instructions

It would be really nice to have install instructions, especially for dependencies on this.
I have a PCPanel and would love for Linux to work.
Does this use python 3, or an older version? Things like this would be helpful in the install instructions.

Hi, I've intentionally not included install steps as this project isn't close to being plug and play at the moment. Configuring it requires editing Python and figuring out the names of programs to text match; not to mention it just doesn't work that well :).

If you're feeling adventurous, the gist of it is:

Uses Python 3, the hidapi library, and hacks together things with X and PulseAudio by calling their shell commands (xdotool and pactl).

To "install" you'll have to figure out what how to autostart background scripts in your distro and add it. I highly encourage trying it out in your terminal first (execute the main.py file and keep it open). You'll have to re-launch it a bunch anyway as it likes to crash.
