Additional Information

Python Version (s)

To be able to following the lab, you need at least python >= 3.8. The exercise has been testing with the following Python versions: 3.8.1, 3.9.5, 3.9.6, 3.9.7 and 3.10.10 but any version of python 3.8+ work without any configuration issues. If you are facing any configuration issue, please reach out to the T.A.

Upgrading PIP:

Sometimes it is useful to upgrade pip before installing dependencies. If you like, run: pip install --upgrade pip and later install the dependencies using: pip install -r requirements.txt

Python Virtual Environment - Optional

• It is a good practice to configure python virtual environment. Use the commands below to setup python virtual environment on Linux/MacOS or Windows OS

  # For Linux/MacOS
  
  python3 -m venv venv
  source venv/bin/activate
  

  NB: Replace python3 with any of the versions listed above e.g: python3.7 or python3.9.5.

  • For Window OS user, the easest approach is to install virtualenv by running pip install virtualenv. The next step is pretty much similar to above;

  # For Window OS
  
  python3 -m virtualenv venv
  venv\Scripts\activate
  

  • Install required dependencies using pip3 install -r requirements.txt
