3. Once you are in the proper directory, run the commands below to install the proper python packages.

Installing Python Libraries

1. Install Pandas: pip install pandas
2. Install MatPlotLib: pip install matplotlib
3. Install SciPy: pip install scipy

Running the Code

To run the code enter one of the following commands below depending on your operating system.

Navigating to Next Plot

Once the program is running, the first plot will be displayed. To navigate to the next plot, close the plot that is being displayed. In order to present the error table in a cleaner fashion, an HTML file is generated in the directory in which the main.py file exists. Opening this file in a web browser will show the error calculations for every Yn. The HTML file is name 'error_results.html'.
