Install Dependencies
---------------------
Before you can use the library, you first must download the Python library dependencies with ``pip``. It is recommended to use a `virtual environment`_ to isolate library versions. Assuming you have ``virtualenv`` installed to your system, set up a new env, activate it, and install the dependencies.
.. _`virtual environment`: https://averlytics.com/2017/08/06/virtual-environment-a-python-best-practice/

$ virtualenv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python
Now you can proceed.
