Description
On my Linux Mint 20 machine, I did
```sh
sudo apt install libffi-dev libssl-dev
pip install warcprox
```
However, this did not result in an executable being installed. After some soul-searching I then did
```sh
pip3 install --user warcprox
```
which worked as expected. I want to politely suggest an update to the README.
