Technical requirements

For this chapter, you will need to have the Anaconda distribution installed. This will come with conda, Navigator, and the most widely used tools for data science, including all the packages we will use later in the chapter.

You'll need to have a GitHub account set up before you begin. Head to https://github.com/join to do that.

You can find the code for this chapter and the rest of the book here: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Building-Data-Science-Solutions-with-Anaconda/tree/main/Chapter02.

We'll also be writing and editing code. An integrated developer environment (IDE) of choice such as Visual Studio Code can be used but its suggested you use the very popular Jupyter Notebook for the tasks that we will be doing in this chapter. Jupyter is included in the Anaconda distribution.
