Technical requirements

Anything later than the following will be able to run Blender:

Operating system: Windows 8.1+, macOS 10.13+, or Linux

I recommend you use a system with 8 GB of system memory and at least a modern dual-core processor. Blender is exceptionally easy to run; the tasks you will tackle in this book will pose no more than a light workload for any computer built within the last five years.
