Running qutebrowser
-------------------
After installing the <<requirements>>, you have these options:
* Run qutebrowser directly via `python3 -m qutebrowser`. Note executing
qutebrowser.py directly as script won't work, as Python won't recognize the
module.
* Run `python3 setup.py install` to install qutebrowser, then call
`qutebrowser`.
