cd shopping-cartUse Anaconda to create and activate a new virtual environment, perhaps called "shopping-env":
conda create -n shopping-env python=3.8
conda activate shopping-envFrom inside the virtual environment, install package dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install sendgridNOTE: if this command throws an error like "Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory", make sure you are running it from the repository's root directory, where the requirements.txt file exists (see the initial
cdstep above)
In in the root directory of your local repository, create a new file called ".env", and update the contents of the ".env" file to specify the sales tax rate of your location:
TAX_RATE = 0.10
Run the shopping cart script:
python shopping_cart.pyReceipts will save in the "receipts" folder of your root directory. You will have the option to enter your email address and have it emailed to you.
