- [Instructor] Okay, one more quick thing before we go ahead and roll up our sleeves. Let me show you where you can download the required software for this course. First, we need Python. Since I'm using Windows, I can open the Microsoft Store app. Here, I can search for Python and install it. So let's search for Python, and you can find different versions. And this is actually the version that I installed. Then we need Visual Studio Code. On the visualstudio.com website, you can find the installer for your operating system, and of course, Docker Desktop. In a similar fashion to Visual Studio Code, you can download the installer right from its website. Now you need an OpenAI account. You can create one on the openai.com website. Be sure to have enough credit to use the models and of course, the Assistants API. Then you need to create an API key. You can do that by clicking on the Create new secret key button and assigning a name. Say Test, and then Create secret key. Be sure to save the key somewhere safe. In this course, I'll save the keys as environment variables in Windows. Okay, that's actually it. We're ready to start building solutions with the OpenAI APIs.
