Setup Instructions

Option 1: Using uv (Recommended)

uv is a fast Python package installer and resolver. To get started:

1. Install uv if you haven't already:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

2. Start Jupyter Notebook with all dependencies:

uv run jupyter notebook

That's it! uv will automatically create a virtual environment and install all required packages from pyproject.toml.

Option 2: Using Conda

1. Create a new conda environment:

conda create -n pydata-book python=3.11
conda activate pydata-book

2. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Start Jupyter Notebook:

jupyter notebook

Note: This project uses pandas 2.0.3 to ensure compatibility with the notebooks.
