python3 pydropper.py
If you want to run the script as an App on mac, you can use automator.app
Open automator app, select Application > Utilities > Run Shell Script. In the script body, include the following
source /<path-to-your-repo>/pydropper/myenv/bin/activate
python3 /<path-to-your-repo>/pydropper/pydropper.py
Where <path-to-your-repo> is the location that you installed the pydropper files.
