Bug Description
If I install Rapid Photo Downloader on Ubuntu 16.04, then it creates conflicts with other Python based programs like Retext.

It would be much better if the RPD install script would allow to install in a Python virtual environment to avoid such issues. I tried to run the script in a venv (https:/

Hi Matthias,
Thanks for your bug report. This is one of those features that would be nice to have, but to be honest I have a list of tasks for the project that are much higher priority to implement. And right now, I have no time whatsoever to implement any of them. So realistically there are two possibilities: (1) you enhance the install.py script to add the feature and send me the improved script for review, or (2) you go through the script and figure out which packages to install in the virtual environment on your system, which is not difficult.
Thanks for your kind understanding.
