Installation and the environment setup on Windows, Debian, and Ubuntu
We can demonstrate all the areas we have learned on other desktop computers with the Windows and Linux OSes. Only the part related to the Raspberry Pi camera module will not work with the other computers as desktop motherboards usually do not come with DSI ports. We can also run the code examples on other single-board computers that run Debian or Ubuntu.
The process to install the packages is the same on Ubuntu, Debian, and their derivatives. All the modern Linux distributions come with Python 3. We just need to use the apt and pip3 tools for installation.
For a Windows PC, we need to install everything from scratch. Let's get started with understanding how to install Python 3 by taking the following steps:
- Visit www.python.org and download the installation file for the latest Python 3 release:
