The most potentially difficult part is that depending on what OS you are using, how you have Python installed, what version, etc. there can be complications so that running <code>pip install rtmidi</code> and <code>pip install mido</code> in a terminal does not work, or only appears to work so that there's issues when the code tries to use mido. I list potential issues below, so please read carefully for something applicable to your case if it isn't going smoothly.

'''UPDATE (2026-10):''' I have found that latest version of Python might not work; if this is the case, use a version of Python 3.13.


'''IMPORTANT: A strange error has been found: Python 3.14 and later versions have removed a functionality used by mido internally, so downgrading to Python 3.12 is required if nothing here works.'''
