2. Run .venv/Scripts/activate in the backend directory to activate the virtual environment
   • This download your dependencies in the newly generated .venv folder instead of locally
3. Run pip install -r requirements.txt in the backend directory to install dependencies inside the virtual environment

Note: Make sure your compiler path in your editor points to venv/Scripts/python.exe inside your backend directory or else your virtual dependencies will not be recognized
