Technical requirements
To get started, you will need a development environment with Python 3.6+. Platform-specific instructions for installing Python can be found at https://docs.python-guide.org/starting/installation/.
You will not require a GPU-equipped development machine, though having one will significantly speed up some of the training-related exercises described later in the book.
You will require access to a command line. On Linux and macOS, simply start the Terminal application. On Windows, press Windows + R to open the Run box, type cmd
and then click OK.
