python3 -m venv .env - Activate the virtual environment:
source .env/bin/activate - Install the dependencies:
pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt - Run the scripts:
python scripts/scrape.py
Alternatively, you can use the provided Makefile to run the scraping with a simple make. It'll create a virtual environment, install the dependencies and run the script.
