Importing module from Python non standard library

Question

I am a beginner here. I am trying to use a bank simulator module in Python, whose name is banksim, but I do not get to do so. If I write the code import banksim, an error is returned. Furthermore, there is no pip install mentioned by the developer of the aforementioned module. Could anyone please help me to solve this issue? Thanks indeed!

The module is in: https://github.com/banking-project/banksim

How can I use it?

You can just clone the repository or download it as a zip and extract it. Just copy the banksim folder into the root folder of your project you want to use the module in and import it from there.

Also run pip install -r requirements.txt for the requirements.txt in the repository.

Create a text file called requirements.txt inside the folder that contains the pip.exe.

The content of the file should be:

mesa==0.8.5
#dash==0.38.0  # The core dash backend
#dash-html-components==0.13.5  # HTML components
#dash-core-components==0.43.1  # Supercharged components
#dash-table==3.5.0  # Interactive DataTable component (new!)
#dash-daq==0.1.0  # DAQ components (newly open-sourced!)

Then run pip install -r requirements.txt in your command prompt.
