Description Ian 2017-10-08 19:43:47 UTC 
When nautilus is not installed, running gnome-tweak-tool will output:

Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 238035

  • File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gtweak/widgets.py", line 164 in __init__ 
    self.settings = GSettingsSetting(schema_name, **options)

    raise GSettingsMissingError(schema_name)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Yes. You need to have the nautilus gsettings schemas installed.

I have updated the README file to mention this runtime dependency
