# A simple setup script for the packages. 
# There should be a file named `locations.json` in this setup where it contains a top-level hash map with the packages and their target path. 
# Feel free to modify it accordingly. 

# This script is tailored to my specific needs. 
# It also strives to only rely on the standard library so further no installation needed. 
# Feel free to modify this script as well. 

# For future references, the Python version when creating for this script is v3.8.2. 
# If there's any reason why stuff is not working, it might be because it is different on the older versions or just my bad code lol. 

# Anyway, I feel like this script should be only up to half the size. 
# Hell, I think this should be simpler but no... I pushed for a more complex setup or something. 
# What am I doing? 
# Is this what ricing is all about? 
# Why are you reading this?
