Installation

Prerequisites

Before setting up the project, make sure you have Python installed on your system. You can download Python from python.org.

Setting Up a Virtual Environment

To avoid conflicts with other projects or system-wide Python packages, it's a good practice to use a virtual environment. Here's how you can set it up:

1. Create a Virtual Environment: Navigate to your project's root directory in your command line and run:

   python -m venv venv

   This command creates a new directory venv in your project where all dependencies will be installed.

2. Activate the Virtual Environment:

   • On Windows, run:

     .\venv\Scripts\activate

   • On macOS and Linux, run:

     source venv/bin/activate

   You should now see the name of your virtual environment in the command prompt.

Installing Dependencies

With the virtual environment activated, install the project dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a .env in the root directory
