0.1 Installing Anaconda

Downloading Miniconda

Python offers plenty of open-source packages that can be managed using a package manager like Anaconda. We will install a lite version called Miniconda. Download the relevant installation file from Miniconda/Download.

If the installation is successful conda --version must show the downloaded version of Miniconda. Now, conda install <package> can be used to download packages.

Setting up a Virtual Environment

Anaconda can create independent environments to install packages without breaking dependencies. We will create an environment for this course. First, download the requirements.txt file. Create a virtual environment using conda create --name dsplab --file requirements.txt If the installation is successful, the following script must run without errors.
