Setup Instructions

Python

To run the Python scripts, I recommend creating a virtual environment. A virtual environment provides isolation, allowing you to manage project-specific dependencies independently of the global Python installation. All required dependencies are listed in requirements.txt.

1. Create a Virtual Environment

   python -m venv .venv

2. Activate the Virtual Environment

   • On Windows

     .venv\Scripts\activate

   • On macOS and Linux

     source .venv/bin/activate

3. Configure VS Code to Use the Virtual Environment

   • Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P).
   • Type Python: Select Interpreter.
   • Choose the interpreter from the .venv folder.

4. Install the dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Run the project:

   python [script_name].py
