run the following command After you run the setup.py file a btc-indicator alias is created, You must open a new terminal window after the setup.py file or run the command ". ~/.bashrc" to refresh the alias list for the terminal.
If the alias isnt working you can run the following command:
python ~/.local/share/applications/btc-price-indicator.py
You need to have installed these, You can do so by running "./installDependencies"

sudo apt-get install python python-setuptools
sudo apt-get install python-appindicator
