Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.x: You can download it from here.
• Jupyter Notebook: Install using pip if not already installed.

pip install notebook

Alternatively, you can install Anaconda, which comes with Jupyter pre-installed. Download Anaconda here.

Steps to Run the Jupyter Notebook

1. Clone the Repository

   First, clone the project repository (if you haven't already):

   git clone https://github.com/chibuezedev/fraud_detection_model.git
   cd fraud_detection_model

2. Install Dependencies

   Before running the Jupyter Notebook, make sure you have installed all required dependencies. You can usually find the list of dependencies in a requirements.txt file.

   To install the dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Launch Jupyter Notebook

   To start the Jupyter Notebook server, use the following command:

   jupyter notebook

4. Access the Notebook

   Once the server starts, it will automatically open your default web browser, displaying the Jupyter dashboard. If it doesn’t, you can manually access it by entering this in your browser:

   http://localhost:8888
   

5. Open Your Notebook

   From the dashboard, navigate to the folder containing your notebook (e.g., my_notebook.ipynb) and click to open it.

6. Run the Notebook

   Inside the notebook, you can run cells by selecting them and pressing Shift + Enter, or by clicking the "Run" button.
