Technical requirements
To follow this chapter, you need one of the more recent versions of Linux and Python — no older than 3.8. You could try on other platforms like Mac or Windows, but Linux is recommended. You could also run Linux with virtualization software like VirtualBox. We will use Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS and Python 3.10. The code is available at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Blockchain-for-Python-Developers--2nd-Edition/tree/main/chapter_9.
