This utility seems to have a requirement not listed in the "REQUIREMENTS" section. I think that it also requires you to have Python installed.
Hi Lee!
Thanks for calling that missing requirement to our attention. Python 2.7 has been added to the section to ensure users know what they need to successfully install the qq command-line tools. Reach out if you need anything else!
