### Manual installation (if the launchers don't work)
If `run_Windows.bat` or `run_Mac.sh` fails (e.g. Python isn't on PATH, or permissions issues), open a terminal in the project folder and run these steps manually:
```
python -m venv .venv
```

- **Windows:** `.venv\Scripts\activate`
- **Mac / Linux:** `source .venv/bin/activate`
Then install and run:
```
python install.py
python app.py
```
