Setup:
This package requires that you have Python 3, as well as BeautifulSoup4. On OS X and Linux systems Python 3 should be installed by default. Once Python is installed you can download BeautifulSoup with the command:
$ pip3 install bs4
Note: To my knowledge, Python3 is also included in the new Bash on Windows linux-subsystem for Windows 10.
Furthermore, you can also make the program executable from anywhere in your file–system with the command ./UDTherapy.py by adding the program directory to your PATH and by modifying the program permissions using the command:
$ chmod +x UDTherapy.py
