Setup environment

Install Python 3.11 or higher.

Ensure that all files listed in the prerequisites are placed in the same directory as your main Python script.

Create a virtual environment by running:

python -m venv venv or python3.11 -m venv venv   
source venv/bin/activate   # macOS/Linux   
.\venv\Scripts\activate  # Windows 

If “A new release of pip is available” message pops up, upgrade pip by running:

pip install --upgrade pip

Install dependencies inside your virtual environment by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt
