▶️ Run the notebooks

After installs finish:

1. Runtime → Restart runtime (recommended) so freshly installed packages are active.
2. Runtime → Run all.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

• If a package fails to install, re-run the install cell; transient network issues are common.
• For large installs, ensure you restarted the runtime before executing the rest of the notebook.
• If you see import errors, verify the requirements.txt URL matches the branch you want.
