2. Install required packages numpy, pandas and matplotlib.
3. Put your Picnic receipt emails (as .eml files) in a folder.
4. Update the directory variable in the script to point to the folder containing your receipt emails.
5. Run the script with python Broccoli.py.
6. The resulting plot will be saved in the same directory as the script.
