Author here, sorry about that :(

Such software attract all kind of people including the casuals who end up creating github issues for problems that can be solved with a single google search or reading the docs. I got tired of multiple issues regarding ffmpeg and ended up dropping this in there. Not very proud.

Swap it for "Please RTFM: https://github.com/s0md3v/roop#installation"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM has some lighter alternatives.
Done ^_^
Honestly, I like the abrasiveness. It adds a certain charm to the program when it directly chastises you for not reading the provided documentation.

For such situations like this where they *should* be following the setup procedures, the errors should be explicit & straightforward: Follow the setup docs.

No worries, but now it's more professional. Congratulations on your release.
Always assume your next boss is already using your software
Yeah but this is fine if your next boss is Linus Torvalds
Might indeed be a good test to weed out the too fragile company cultures you would want to avoid.
