Installation
The installation of Chromasens Python SDK is handled with the Python package index tool PyPi. To handle multiple projects without dependency conflicts it’s recommended (but not required) to use a virtual environment for your project with Chromasens components.
For the installation please perform the following steps:
Install a Python interpreter (version ≥ 3.9.2)
Therefore visit https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

In this manual, the Python default package venv is used. It is recommended to use a virtual environment but not required.
Execute the following commands in the command prompt.
