## FAQ
### I can't startup the script no matter what.
- Try `python3` or `python` or `py -3` as python have real issues about naming their program
- Try these:
- **`python`**
- **`python3`**
- **`python3.7`**
- **`python3.6`**
- **`py -3`**
### I can't open the self posts.
Python have real issues about naming their program
### I can't open the self post files.
- Self posts are held at reddit as styled with markdown. So, the script downloads them as they are in order not to lose their stylings. However, there is a great Chrome extension [here](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/markdown-viewer/ckkdlimhmcjmikdlpkmbgfkaikojcbjk) for viewing Markdown files with its styling. Install it and open the files with Chrome.
