How to use this

This is a tutorial on how to setup python, pip and venv. So if you know how to use it, then promptly skip this part. I would write this for Windows and Mac only, because Linux and BSD users could probably figure it out anyways. (# Fedora User)

If you don't understand what I'm talking about you could go find the relevent information on the internet or just not care and follow along

1. Download Python and install it in your PATH
2. Open up your terminal (Windows -> Powershell and Mac -> Terminal) and change the current directory

cd <dir> # replace <dir> with the correct directory

For example my folder is called econometric and is saved inside the Documents folder.

cd .\Documents\ecnometric # Windows
cd ~/Documents/econometric # Mac

3. Type either one of the following commands (Whatever works for you.) to setup your virtual environment and activate it.

py -m venv . # or
python3 -m venv .

If you have errors now, check if Python is on your PATH

4. Activate your virtual environment

.\Script\activate # Windows
source bin/activate # Mac

5. Download the required packages with pip

python -m pip install -r .\requirements.txt # Windows
pip3 install -r requirements.txt # Mac

6. Startup Jupyter Lab

jupyter-lab
