Councilmatic

Setup

IF pip (My prefered method):

1. Download Python
2. make sure you're in the project directory and download the packages like so:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Disregard below

IF Conda:

1. Install Anaconda * https://www.anaconda.com/download
2. Create conda env * conda env create -f environment.yml
3. Download geckodriver and add to path. Make sure to install Firefox if you don't have it as well. * https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
   note: We used Katalon IDE brower plugin to easy generate some of python selenium statements the normal selenium IDE no longer supports Python code exports.
