    • Click "Command Prompt"

  2. Create and activate the virtual environment + install library (run commands in a new CMD terminal)

    1. py -m venv venv
      • (Creates virtual environment)
    2. venv\Scripts\activate
      • (activates virtual environment)

IMPORTANT

A lot of other varaibles go into making a good web bot. I only covered a short list of them due to time and the nature of the website. If you are looking to improve the detection of a web bot you will need to research other areas such as rotating proxies. There are numerous of YT videos that explain this in detail.
