Prerequisites: Python 3.

X (Anaconda)

Python distribution and libraries


We will use the Anaconda Python distribution. Contains more than 300 of the
most popular Python packages for science, math, engineering, and data
analysis.

o Download and install the Anaconda Python 3.X installer for your OS and
architecture:
https://www.anaconda.com/download/

o Verify the Anaconda installation. From the command prompt (Win) or


terminal (Mac, Linux) type

conda --version
python --version
Prerequisites: Environment management

Environments are managed with the Anaconda manager conda:

o Computing environments

conda create --name tensorflow-3.10 python==3.10


conda remove --name tensorflow-3.10 –all
conda env list

o Activate environment

conda activate tensorflow-3.10


conda deactivate

o Additional channels

conda config --add channels conda-forge


conda config --show channels
Prerequisites: Package management

Individual packages added/removed/updated either:

o Anaconda package manager


conda install/uninstall <package>
conda list

o Python package manager


pip install/uninstall <package>
pip freeze (list packages)
Prerequisites: Scientific and Machine Learning packages

o Numerical and scientific

pip install numpy, scipy

o Data engineering

pip install pandas

o Visualization

pip matplotlib, seaborn

o Machine learning

pip install scikit-learn

o Machine learning: Tensorflow/Keras

conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow


Prerequisites: Workspace

Integrated Developer Environments (IDEs):

o Collection of editor, compiler/interpreter, debugger, and documentation


o More recently, version control (GIT), auto completion (generative AI), big
data tools, etc.

Common IDEs:

o Jupyter Notebooks (Python, free)


Mathematica style notebooks for scripting, data science, and ML. Mix code,
output, and notes.

o Pycharm / Datalore(JetBrains, free for academia)


Full-fledged, professional code development – editor, compiler/interpreter,
debugger, documentation, versioning, etc.

o VS Code (Microsoft, free)


Similarly full-fledged IDE.

o Spyder (Anaconda, free)


Light-weight IDE from Anaconda.
