⚙️ Setting Up the Python Environment

1. Create a New Environment from the .yml File:

   • Open the Anaconda Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Mac).
   • Navigate to the directory containing the desired .yml file.
   • Run the following command to create the environment (replace environment.yml with the correct file name):

     conda env create -f environment.yml

   • Alternatively, if using the .yml file directly from a URL:

     conda env create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<user>/<repo>/main/<file>.yml

2. Activate the New Environment:

   • Activate the environment with:

     conda activate <environment_name>

   • Replace <environment_name> with the name specified in the .yml file.

3. Verify the Environment:

   • Check if the environment is created successfully by listing all environments:

     conda env list
