The tools you need

“

- [Man] Before working through the exercises in this course, I want to make sure that you have the tools you need, to be successful. The first thing you want to make sure to do, is install or verify that you have the latest version, of Python 3. I'll be working in Python 3.8. So if you have the latest version of Python 3, you should be able to run my code. However, if you're still on Python 2, you may run into some difficulty. Second, my code will be written and executed, using Jupyter Notebooks. The Jupyter Notebook, is a great platform for combining live code, descriptive text about the code, visualizations, and equations in one simple-to-use interface. Luckily, everything you need, which includes the latest version of Python 3, and the Jupyter Notebooks environment, is available by installing Anaconda. Anaconda is a package manager, an environment manager, a Python distribution, and a collection of over 7,500 open-source packages. It is free and easy to install, and it offers free community support. You can install Anaconda, by going to the address provided here.
