Setting up Poetry

Install Poetry: Poetry is a Python dependency management tool. It handles setting up virtual environments and managing dependencies in Python projects. To install Poetry, you can use the following command in your terminal:
```
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python -
```

For Windows users, you can use PowerShell to install Poetry:

(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://install.python-poetry.org -UseBasicParsing).Content | python -

Project Setup

Clone the repository:

First, clone this repository to your local machine using git clone.

Navigate to the project directory:

Change your current working directory to the cloned repository's location.

Install Dependencies:

Now you can install the dependencies for this project using Poetry. In the project's root directory, run:

poetry install

This command reads the pyproject.toml file included in the project, which contains all the dependencies that the project needs. Poetry will set up a new virtual environment and install everything automatically.

Running the Application

Activate the Poetry Shell: Once the dependencies are installed, activate the virtual environment that Poetry has created for your project:

poetry shell

Your prompt should change to indicate that you are in a new shell that Poetry has set up with the correct Python version and all the dependencies.

Running a Python Script

You're now ready to run one of the Python scripts in the app directory.

python app/main.py
