What tools you need

“

- [Instructor] In order for you to follow along in this course, I want to make sure that you have access to all the tools and exercise files. First, you want to make sure that you have installed, on your machine, the latest version of Python. So I'm going to invite you to visit the official website of python.org, and follow the instructions under this tab, Downloads. And here, you're going to find the instructions for every operating system. So myself, I work on a Mac, so that's why you're going to see here the instructions to download on macOS. Next, you're going to need a code editor, so I'll be using Visual Studio Code for the next demonstration. Also, a modern browser, high speed internet, and of course, an OpenAI account and credits. So you're going to see that this is a very easy step, I'm going to walk you through the process of creating a new account. And I can tell you already that, for every new account, you're going to get free credits for a limited time, and that's going to be plenty enough for you to try and work with the OpenAI APIs and language models. The exercise files and assets are available for downloads, so the exercise files are organized in folders and numbered, and the numbers corresponds to one chapter and one video number. So if you ever decide to start at a specific point of time during the course, for example chapter five and video two, you can always select the exercise files corresponding to the chapter, 05, and the video number, 02, in this case. And every project will include a starter project and a final version. Plus, you'll have access to a README file in order to read instructions for the installation and the setup of every project. So now, in order to get started, I'm going to invite you to clone and download the exercise files in order to get started with the next demonstration with OpenAI.
