I have tested it with Python 3.9. It works well if you have a version >= 3.9.

1. Clone the repository git clone [email protected]:opcoder0/privet.git
2. Change directory cd privet
3. Create a virtual environment python -m venv venv
4. Activate the virtual environment source venv/bin/activate
5. Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt
6. Download Spacy's trained model/pipeline. python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
7. Run python privet.py --help
