Before running, please make sure you have the file titled q1_snapshots.json in the same directory as the file q1.py.

In your python3 virtual environment in the correct directory, type in python3 q1.py and hit enter to run the program.

You should see a message indicating that the data has been processed, and the name of the output file. If there are any errors with the program, you should see those displayed in the output.
