Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Deep0Thinking/1D-Special-Relativity-Visualizer.git

Navigate to the project directory:

# Create and activate a virtual environment (on macOS/Linux):
python3 -m venv virtualenv
source virtualenv/bin/activate # On Windows: `virtualenv\Scripts\activate`

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the app
python 1D_special_relativity_visualizer.py

Once it starts, you’ll see output like:
