• If you're on a Windows machine, open the windows command prompt or "Git Bash".

Once you've opened your terminal application, type git version. The output will either tell you which version of Git is installed, or it will alert you that git is an unknown command. If it's an unknown command, read further and find out how to install Git.

install 'uv'

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

now clone the 'repository' this has all of the code you need to run the application.

open your terminal

'cd' is the change directory command 'mkdir' is the make directory command. mkdir textanalysis

after the directory is made

 git clone https://github.com/rye-dotcom/textanalsysis.git textanalysis/

this is 'git' following the action to copy the code from the 'git' to your directory. Next we will use 'uv' to install the rest of the software.

uv will also install python.

    uv venv

this creates the 'virtual environement', it will be 'hidden' located at '.env'

Activate the environment

 source .venv/bin/activate

in windows the slashes might be 'backwards' \

 source .venv\bin\activate

now you should get a prompt that reads the environment is activated.

 uv pip install -r pyproject.toml 

this will install the components

uv run python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

this installs the language component.

now run the software

uv run streamlit run text_analysis.py 

this runs uv, whcih calls streamlit and then the app, which ends in '.py'
