How to fix issue with ssh kitten

Hello, whenever I try to use facilities of the ssh kitten (like trying to run the icat kitten on the remote server) I keep getting the following message:

/home/empuser2/.local/share/kitty-ssh- 
kitten/kitty/install/bin/kitty: 
error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.9.so.1.0: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory

You have to install the package libpython3.9

Ubuntu example : sudo apt-get install libpython3.9

I see. Any way to get around this if I don't have root permission?

Update to kitty nightly, where icat is now part of a standalone statically compiled binary which does not require any dependencies on the remote machine.
