feat: make deps more flexible (#158)

* feat: make deps more flexible

* feat: we don't have requirements.txt anymore

* fix: make testing more reliable

* fix: update the test as the underlying library changed types:

v0.12.0..v0.13.0 has changed the type of what is returned.

```diff
-from collections import OrderedDict
+_dict = dict
+import platform
```
