How to run this project

Option A — Google Colab (recommended for beginners)

  1. Click Download Notebook (.ipynb) below. The file should download instead of displaying raw JSON.
  2. Open Google Colab.
  3. Choose File → Upload notebook → Browse and select the downloaded .ipynb.
  4. Run any dependency-install cell first, if present.
  5. Choose Runtime → Run all, or run cells individually with ▶.
  6. Review tables, charts and evaluation metrics. If a compatible real dataset is used, upload it to Colab and update the notebook file path.

Option B — Run on your computer

  1. Install Python 3 and enable Add Python to PATH.
  2. Open Command Prompt and run pip install jupyterlab pandas numpy scikit-learn matplotlib openpyxl.
  3. Open the folder containing the downloaded notebook.
  4. Run jupyter lab.
  5. Open the .ipynb file and choose Run → Run All Cells.
