Installing Python Libraries
Describe the bug No guide about installation of python libraries such as fastapi , psycopg2, slowapi, humanize, psutil etc in the local IDE
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

- Run 'line 22'
- Scroll down to 'Terminal'
- See error
Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
Screenshots
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: [Windows 11]
- Browser [chrome]
- Version [11]
Additional context Without running pip install psycopg2 in the terminal IDE, it shows error every now and then
The steps for local installation are in docs/src/installation/local.md.
You can create a virtual environment then run pip install -r requirements.txt while in the root folder which will install the dependencies.
I hope this helps.
Most dependencies should install easily with pip.
Psycopg2 is slightly more complex as it requires underlying system libraries to be installed too. There is good documentation about this https://www.psycopg.org/docs/install.html#build-prerequisites
Is there anything else specifically that you feel needs to be addressed?
Including in an install guide might be possible - feel free to work on this & Kshitij can review / decide on if the package needs it 👍
Psycopg2 is in requirements.txt . As sam mentioned in order to install psycopg2 using pip it requires to build binary first , We can simply mention this in documentation and redirect user to installation doc that psycopg2 has .
