2. Install uv if you don't already have it
3. From VS Code or Cursor, do File >> New Window and then Open.. then navigate into expert and Open

Windows PC People: MCP might only run if you use this via WSL2! For more on this, see my AI Engineer Agentic Track course. Alternatively, you might need to change the Jupyter Notebook into a python module in order to run it from the Windows side.

Optional: using Cerebras

If you want to use the blazingly fast Cerebras, sign up for a Cerebras account here:
https://cloud.cerebras.ai/
But that's not required; you can use OpenAI or OpenRouter direct.
