Project Setup with Poetry

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to set up the project using Poetry, a dependency management tool for Python.

1. Install Poetry

If you don't have Poetry installed, you can install it using the official installation script:

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

Alternatively, if you are using Windows, run:

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

After installation, verify that Poetry is installed:

poetry --version

2. Enable the poetry shell Plugin

Poetry requires a plugin to use poetry shell. Install it with:

poetry self add poetry-plugin-shell

3. Install Project Dependencies

Navigate to the project directory and install dependencies:

poetry install

This will create a virtual environment (if not already created) and install all dependencies defined in pyproject.toml.

4. Activate the Virtual Environment

To activate the Poetry-managed virtual environment, run:

poetry shell

To exit the virtual environment, simply type:

exit

5. Running the Project

Once inside the virtual environment, you can run the application as follows:

python demo.py
