I was trying to run the "hello.py" script, unmodified, just dragged from example folder to the root folder so that it would run, but I came across an error:
did i screw up anything?

Same problem here. Did you get it solved somehow?

Had the same issue here.

Apparently i missed the hint about the TeX installation in INSTALL.md. Now it works for me after brew install --cask basictex (i'm on a Mac).

for ubuntu, just install tex by sudo apt install texlive-binaries
