bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dfgHiatus/a92a3caae24c1bfab1c7544537a654c5/raw/fc30aa550c3c7aa83c37a72168e75ef92388e39b/project-babble-install.sh)"

Once it's finished installing, you can update and run the Babble app by typing babble-app into your terminal.

You should also be able to run the Windows executable through Wine!

Notes:

If you receive a ["Error listing UVC devices on Linux ... No such file or directory"] when choosing/changing your camera, you'll need to install video4linux (v4l-utils) for your distro.

For Ubuntu or other distros with apt:

sudo apt-get install v4l-utils

If you receive a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter' error message on run, you'll need to install tkinter for your distro.

For Ubuntu or other distros with apt:

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

For Fedora:

sudo dnf install python3-tkinter
