Technical requirements
To complete this chapter, you only need Python installed, alongside the basic data processing and machine learning libraries, such as numpy
, pandas
, matplotlib
, and scikit-learn
. You'll learn how to install and configure these in a virtual environment in Chapter 2, Deep Dive into TPOT, but let's keep this one easy. These libraries come preinstalled with any Anaconda distribution, so you shouldn't have to worry about it. If you are using raw Python instead of Anaconda, executing this line from the Terminal will install everything needed:
> pip install numpy pandas matplotlib scikit-learn
Keep in mind it's always a good practice to install libraries in a virtual environment, and you'll learn how to do that shortly.
