Black&White Image Coloriser

First of all make sure that python is installed in your system.

next, you need to create a virtual environment in your system of python and need to install the dependancies and packages which are gievn in the requirements.txt file by typing the following command in the virtual environmant terminal

INSTALLING PIP
