Project Setup Instructions

This project requires a Python virtual environment to manage dependencies. Follow the instructions below to set up your environment.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• pip (Python package installer)

Setting Up the Virtual Environment

1. Clone the repository (if applicable)

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-directory>

2. Create and set up the virtual environment

   Run the provided setup script to create a virtual environment named venv and install all dependencies from requirements.txt.

   ./buildEnv.sh

   Note: Make sure the script buildEnv.sh has execution permissions. If not, you can add execute permissions with:

   chmod +x buildEnv.sh

3. Activate the virtual environment

   • On Linux:

     source .venv/bin/activate

4. Install dependencies

   The setup script will automatically install all dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file. If you need to manually install or update dependencies, use:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Deactivate the virtual environment

   Once you are done working in the virtual environment, you can deactivate it by running:

   deactivate
