This course requires the Python (3.9 or later) and Jupyter (Python IDE) to be installed.
For Windows and MacOS users, it is recommended to install Anaconda, a open-platform for data science. This will set up both python and IDE all in one step.
For Linux users, you probably won't need any suggestion.
