Add rsync note to install section of readme or make a better error

While i was trying to install this i noticed that rsync had a wired error.

Error: rsync exited with code 127

When i saw this error for the first time i though it was a problem with rsync but the problem was that it wasn't installed
That error code looks a bit misleading, it would be nice if the error was something like:

Error: rsync not found

Or add a note to install rsync to the install section of the README

Hey @mjarkk first, sorry for the late response, I was off grid over new years. Thanks for taking an interest in the project and letting me know about this issue!

Do you still have this issue and could you please provide some details e.g. is that happening on the client or the remote?
