**Please note, you should not try to `git clone` this project.** Instead, use `cookiecutter` CLI instead as ``{{cookiecutter.project_name}}`` will be rendered based on your input and therefore all variables and files will be rendered properly.

## Cookiecutter requirements

Install `cookiecutter` command line:

**Pip users**:

**Homebrew users**:

**NOTE**: [`Pipenv`](https://github.com/pypa/pipenv) is the new and recommended Python packaging tool that works across multiple platforms and makes Windows a first-class citizen.
