You need python3 to be able to run the code.
To install the requirements (that are listed in requirements.txt) with pip, you should run the command pip install -r requirements.txt.
If you are in a Debian variant OS you can run the following commands (from inside the labchain code folder) to have everything set-up:
sudo apt-get install python3
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
If you are on NixOS or have the Nix package manager installed, just execute nix run from inside the repository root folder.
