To get the most out of this book

This book assumes you have a client machine, either laptop or PC, that is running Windows, Linux, or macOS. However, at a push, you can use Raspberry Pi for pretty much everything. It also assumes you have an internet connection. The majority of exercises will work on Windows, Linux and macOS; where they don’t, it’s noted. Read the first chapter, which has installation instructions for Windows, and then follow the installation instructions in the chapters on Linux/macOS or Raspberry Pi.

Software/hardware covered in the book	Operating system requirements
PowerShell 7.x	Windows, macOS, or Linux

If you are using the digital version of this book, I advise you to type the code yourself. Errors are part of the fun, and the sense of achievement when I realize what I’ve done wrong is not something I’d want you to miss out on.
