Hey, sorry if i miss any info that would be helpful to solve this issue, or if I installed this wrong (not sure if I messed this up lol), I'm very new to linux/a lot of this in general and am learning a lot as I go. I am running linux mint 22.2. I've actually been trying to figure out how to solve this issue for a few weeks now since I really love the idea of this!

I wasnt able to run hyfetch from the terminal until I found the python 3.10 directory in .local of my home directory. I only was able to get it to run by going all the way into .local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/hyfetch/rust and opening a terminal in that directory. After that I got all the way to step 6, which I wasn't able to complete. If it helps this is what showed up in my terminal-

  1. Detected color mode: rgb

  2. Detected background color: dark

  3. Selected flag: transmasculine

  4. Selected brightness: 0.71

  5. Selected color alignment: horizontal

  6. Select a *fetch backend
    Error: failed to create config

Caused by:
0: failed to select backend
1: failed to get macchina path
2: failed to check existence of macchina in PATH
3: failed to check existence of file "hyfetch/git/macchina"
4: failed to get metadata for "hyfetch/git/macchina"
5: Not a directory (os error 20)

after that it looks like the process gets aborted and I can't finish setting it up. I did try to see if I could add the directory I opened the terminal from to my PATH in zsh but that didn't fix the issue. If I'm doing something wrong here, lmk so I can fix it!
