### Running from Python source
In order to run from source code you need to first build a Python extension and then run the app as follows, from within the source code folder:
```
$ python3 setup.py build_ext -i
$ python3 -m vidcutter
```
Working installations of **libmpv** and **ffmpeg** must be pre-installed for your specific OS. For Linux, package names are usually named **libmpv1** or **mpv** and **ffmpeg**. For the media information option to work you'll also need a working install of **mediainfo**.
You will need Python packages **pyopengl** and **simplejson** pre-installed, via **pip install pyopengl simplejson** or distro packages, and a working PyQt5 + Qt5 libraries installation. Windows users can simply **pip install PyQt5** to be up and running, Linux users should install a relevant PyQt5 package from their Linux distribution's package manager. Linux package names for PyQt5 are usually named **python-pyqt5** or **python3-pyqt5** and will take care of the Qt5 side of things too.
