With the above dependencies installed, imgur-screenshot should work on most UNIX systems.
This will not work on Windows. (maybe with cygwin?)
I have successfully tested this on Ubuntu and macOS.
If this won't work on your OS, create a new issue.
The screenshot will be taken after the selection has been made. This might be annoying if you want to capture something quickly and then want to select an area. However, you can take a full shot and use the edit option to crop the image before upload.
