[Bug]: ERROR Numpad layout *.py from dir layouts is required as first argument

Describe the bug

I installed the script, chose not to use a systemctl service, and restarted my computer. Then I ran

/usr/share/asus-numberpad-driver/.env/bin/python3 /usr/share/asus-numberpad-driver/numberpad.py

as instructed, and got this error:

ERROR    Numpad layout *.py from dir layouts is required as first argument. Re-run install script or add missing first argument (valid value is b7402, e210ma, g533, gx551, gx701, up5401ea, ..).

Expected behavior

I expected this argument to be automatically included in the script I run, since the setup already detected my default numpad layout and asked if I wanted to use it. (And I said yes.)

How do I format the argument to include the layout?

Relevant log output

No response

For example numberpad.py up5401ea. Valid layout names are written in error message, more in README.MD or inside directory layouts without file extension .py. What was confusing? Can be changed description of error message.

I just wasn't sure how to format it, whether I needed to put, say, "layout=ux581l" or something. I haven't used many Python scripts before. But this worked:

/usr/share/asus-numberpad-driver/.env/bin/python3 /usr/share/asus-numberpad-driver/numberpad.py ux581l
