After downloading the project as a .zip and unzipping, I get the following error:

Hi @jrhutchins,

Not sure about your exact issue but I hope you found a solution since you reported the ticket !

Anyway, I don't maintain this project anymore so I will close this bug.
If you are still interested in such a tool, I recommend you have a look at https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync which is a fork of this project with considerable changes to improve it.
