when i installed python the version was 3.11 and therefore the dependencies such as numpy did not install because there was a conflict. when i used python 3.7 instead, then it all worked. i wish this was made clear beforehand.
also, there was a mistake in the command to activate the virtual environment, which i fixed. it was discussed in this issue recently: https://github.com/openai/openai-quickstart-python/issues/30
