Technical requirements

Here are the installations and setup required for this chapter:

• The requirements for this book are to have Python 3.9 (or later) downloaded (https://www.python.org/downloads/) and have a text editor to edit Python files in. Any text editor will do. I use VS Code (https://code.visualstudio.com/download).
• Some sections of this book use GitHub, and a GitHub account is recommended (https://github.com/join). Understanding how to use Git is not necessary for this book but is always useful. If you want to get started, this link has a useful tutorial: https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world/.
• A basic understanding of Python is also very useful for this book. If you are not there yet, feel free to spend some time getting to know Python better using this tutorial (https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/) or any other of the freely and readily available tutorials out there, and come back here when you are ready. We also need to have the Streamlit library installed, which we will do in a later section called Installing Streamlit.
