Dependencies for installation not documented #15

Description

When attempting to install following the instructions in the readme, I found that there were a number of additional dependencies I needed to install (via apt install, I assume other distros might have other names for these) in order to be able to successfully run pipx install textual-paint:

  • zlib1g-dev
  • libjpeg-dev
  • python3.12-dev

And then running gave the following error message:

ImportError: cannot import name '_imagingft' from 'PIL'

And then to actually run, I needed to install:

  • libfreetype6-dev

And reinstall:

pipx uninstall textual-paint
pipx install --python python3.12 --pip-args="--no-cache-dir" textual-paint

because Pillow had been compiled without freetype support.
