Install wine first in order to build windows application on linux, internet is required to download python binary for setup

$ git clone https://github.com/casualsnek/cassowary
$ cd cassowary
$ ./buildall.sh

If buildall.sh produces error such as bash: ./buildall.sh: Permission denied, run this command chmod +x buildall.sh and run ./buildall.sh again.
