Summary
In this chapter, we prepared the ground for our next activities. We learned how to create a developing environment while keeping costs very low (almost free). So, we decided to use Ubuntu as our main OS. After that, we made sure to have Python already available and installed pip. The selection of the IDE was quite straightforward since we chose Sublime Text, a quite light, powerful, and advanced text editor.
After that, we focused on Python’s virtual environment. In this case, our choice was pipenv because it is quite powerful, easy to use, and full of advanced features. We spent some time on a quite complete overview of this tool and its main features and instructions.
Now, everything is ready, so finally, in the next chapter, we are going to take a kind of crash course on the basic features of Streamlit. Are you ready?
