You can also recreate the steps used to create the Shiny app by completing the following:

1. Download all files to your working directory.
2. Run the Python code entitled 1_Web_Scraping_and_File_Creation.py. This will create several csv files in your working directory.
3. Run the R code entitled 2_Plot_the_Data.R.
4. Ensure that you have the Shiny library installed.
5. In R, run the code "library(shiny)" and then "runApp()".
6. This will create the R Shiny application in a new window.
