Troubleshooting all morning, but made progress

Following the digital ocean tutorial, I had a hang-up when I tried to install the faster-whisper package and couldn’t. It turned out that CTranslate2, which faster-whisper relies on, is not compatible with the Python version I was using. I then downloaded and installed Python version 11 and tried again and was successful. All that took 3 hours of troubleshooting. Well, now I know.

I have now created the project directory, downloaded the input video that will be used in the tutorial, set up a virtual environment, activated it, and installed the necessary Python packages.
