Technical requirements
In this chapter, you will be primarily using the command line. For macOS and Linux, this will be the default Terminal (bash
or zsh
), while on a Windows OS, you will use the Anaconda Prompt, which comes as part of the Anaconda or Miniconda installation. Installing Anaconda or Miniconda will be discussed in the following Getting ready section.
We will use Visual Studio Code for the IDE, which is available for free at https://code.visualstudio.com. It supports Linux, Windows, and macOS.
