If you want to understand how mitype works or want to debug an issue, you'll want to get the source, build it, and run it locally.
First, fork the mitype repository so that you can make a pull request. Clone your fork locally and then you can navigate to the directory where you've cloned the repository.
git clone https://github.com/<<<your-github-account>>>/mitype.git
cd where-you-cloned-mitype
Once you have a local copy of mitype cloned, you can directly run mitype in Development Mode.
python -m mitype [OPTION]... [FILE]...
You can install the module directly from sources by running the following command.
python setup.py install
