🚀 Quickstart

1. Clone the repository:

2. Follow the Installation steps below (Windows-specific steps included).

3. Start the app:

   • Option A (recommended):

     python run.py
     

     The script finds a free port (8000–8100), launches Uvicorn, and opens your browser.

     uvicorn Apps.app:app --reload --port 8000
     

4. Open the URL displayed in the console (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:8000).
