Research direction

Reproduce the first-run failure with a fades installation made through pipx, then inspect the error and the installation-related entry points involved. Done means a pipx-installed fades executable can run a fades script without reporting that the installation is unsupported.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I decided to install fades using the pipx tool, which is a great way of managing various Python executables. Obviously it's not supported - the first time I tried to run a fades script, it told me so - great error reporting!

I've worked around this by following the correct installation instructions, and installed the deb package. But I'd really like to use pipx to install fades instead.
