Following instructions at https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/OpenPaperwork/paperwork/blob/master/doc/install.devel.markdown. These instructions include nothing about installing on macOS, hence this block post.

git clone https://github.com/jflesch/paperwork.git cd paperwork git checkout develop # or 'release-xxx'virtualenv --system-site-packages -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activateyou're now in a virtualenv
make install # or 'make install_py'
