Setup — create a Python virtual environment and install dependencies

1. From the project root, check your Python version:

python3 --version

2. Create a virtual environment (use .venv or a name you prefer):

python3 -m venv .venv

3. Activate the virtual environment:

• macOS / Linux:

source .venv/bin/activate

• Windows PowerShell:

.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

• Windows Command Prompt:

.venv\Scripts\activate.bat

4. Upgrade pip and install project requirements:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

5. (Optional) If you add or change dependencies, update requirements.txt:

pip freeze > requirements.txt

6. When finished, deactivate the venv:

deactivate
