Thanks for your feedback.

These dependencies are listed in the Makefile and and should install via $ sudo make (can be improved, though).

Every script has a description file ($scriptname.md) which includes an install/usage section including make, e.g., https://github.com/andre-st/goodreads/blob/master/savreviews.md
Some description files also have detailed notes about the limitations etc., reading them is recommended.

Every heading here https://github.com/andre-st/goodreads/blob/master/README.md links to such a description file.

I'll think about how to make make more obvious, thanks!

For now, I added a section "installation" to the main README.md (I think this was the problem) and a comment to the install sections on every single script-description page, too.
Perhaps I will also add an INSTALL.txt file.

Sorry, my bad. I didn't see - well, at least I didn't run - the Makefile. Makes sense.

Nevertheless, you had a point. When this happens, it's a usability or documentation problem. In the past, I added script for script and linked them individually in the GR forums, and somewhat forgot about the Toolbox as a whole. Installing deps (etc) via the Makefile was not obvious and make was just mentioned somewhere on the script-pages. If someone just skims over the documentation or directory listing, which I often do too, he will find it more easily, now.
