        ## 2. Requirements
        
        ***System:***  
        Python >=3.5, pip, Qt >5, UDisks2
        
        - _Debian based linux:_
        
            For \*ubuntu open `Software & Updates` and activate the `universe` repository or activate it via terminal.
        
            + Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu:
        
                ```bash
                $ sudo add-apt-repository universe && sudo apt update
                $ sudo apt install qt5-default gir1.2-udisks-2.0 python3-pip
                ```
        
        - _Red Hat based linux:_
        
            + Fedora -> Gnome:
        
                ```bash
                $ sudo dnf install python3-pyside2
                ```
        
        - _Slackware based linux:_
        
            + openSUSE 15.2 "Leap" -> Gnome:

                $ sudo zypper install python3-pyside2 typelib-1_0-UDisks-2_0
                ```
        
        
        ## 3. Installation
        
        USB-Imager can be easily installed/uninstalled using `pip`.
        
        Please try to install USB-Imager without **`sudo`** but sometimes it necessary to do a system-wide installation, because in many distributions the search path `$PATH` is not configured correctly to find the startup program.
        
        ```bash
        $ pip3 install -U usb-imager
        $ pip3 uninstall usb-imager
        ```
        
        or [pipenv]:
        
        ```bash
        $ pipenv install usb-imager
        $ pipenv run usb-imager
        $ pipenv uninstall usb-imager
        ```
        
        
        ## 4. Usage
        
        Start USB-Imager via the desktop icon or just type `usb-imager` in your terminal window.
