I'm running Linux Mint 19.2 which is based on Ubuntu 18.04. After
googling and trying what seemed to be a million different things, I
finally have it running on my linux machine.

I don't know if I can remember how I did it so I will document it here.

It took this...

sudo apt-get install python3-wxgtk4.0 python3-wxgtk-webview4.0
python3-wxgtk-media4.0

And this...

sudo python3 -m pip install pyserial

So now I am good on Windows and Linux for testing.
