Nothing is missing.

You need to have paps command first, and I use that one from
Github, I gave you instructions how to download and install it. It
needs system administrator rights `root' or you install it in your
$HOME directory, like in ~/.local/share

If you have paps command, you can write in terminal

$ paps --help

and you will get this output, then let me know if it works, that is first.
