Basic setup and knowledge for the course



Python packages we will use

First, we strongly recommend that you use virtual environments; mandatory it is not, but it’s the right way to work with Python and packages.

All of these can be installed easily with pip, just follow these instructions. pip should already be installed on your system if you have installed Python.

For Windows, download the proper binaries first if pip doesn’t work directly.

If pip is not accessible from your command-prompt/shell/terminal, read this guide.
