Hey @Welstand,

To run remarks, you need just two things: git and python. Python 3.8 comes pre-installed with macOS Big Sur. So the only new thing you need is git. There are several ways to install it. A straightforward one is described here: https://docs.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/set-up-git

There is a catch with Apple's default Python, though. Apple ships both python2 and python3 on macOS Big Sur. Because remarks needs Python >= 3.8 you must use the command python3 and pip3 and not simply python and pip (which unfortunately point to python2).

Now, just open your terminal and type the following:

# Download remarks to your machine
git clone https://github.com/lucasrla/remarks.git && cd remarks

# Install the dependencies
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

# Run it and learn the features that are available
python3 -m remarks --help

Please let us know if you run into any problems.

PS: I have just enabled the Wiki feature. It is open for anyone to edit/write it: https://github.com/lucasrla/remarks/wiki. Feel free to document your steps there so that future users can learn as well.

PPS: I will convert this issue to a discussion. It seems more appropriate there.
