Running Notebook Locally

These are simple steps to run the notebook locally. Jupyter is required.

1. Clone the Project Locally

git clone [email protected]:mbeps/Machine-Learning-Labs-Questions.git

2. Set Up Environment

Using Anaconda (Preferred)

If you have Anaconda installed, create a new environment and activate it. Once active, install the required packages.

Using Poetry (Alternative for non-Anaconda users)

  1. Ensure you have Python 3.10 installed.
  2. If you are using Poetry and do not have Anaconda, install the dependencies:
poetry install

3. Run the Project

After setting up the environment and installing all dependencies, navigate to the project's root directory and run the main notebook.

Note: Adjust the specific steps, commands, or any other requirements based on the nature of your project or any additional configurations that might be needed.
