Getting Started

To get started with the sources clone this git repository to any biva_folder with

git clone https://dsrg.fh-zwickau.de/research/bias-variance-agent.git

and follow these steps:

• with pip and venv:
  1. open a pip terminal in biva_folder. You can make sure that pip is up-to-date by running:
