To avoid any conflict with your existing Python setup, and to keep this project self-contained, it is suggested to work in a virtual environment with virtualenv. To install virtualenv:

pip install --upgrade virtualenv

Create a virtual environment, activate it and install the requirements in requirements.txt.

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
