How to Install the FL Studio Python API Stubs

Working with the FL Studio Python API can be a challenge, since most editors, including VS Code, won't provide any auto-completions or inline documentation for the FL Studio modules. Fortunately, I've created a library of stub functions, which can provide all of this useful information, directly in your editor of choice.

To do this tutorial, you'll need to have a reasonably modern version of Python installed to your system (3.9 and up). Get one from https://www.python.org/downloads/ or from your package manager of choice.
