Installing Python

We will be using virtualenv to create an isolated Python virtual environment. While this isn't strictly necessary, it's an excellent practice. By doing so, we will keep all our Python libraries for this project in a separate isolated environment that won't interfere with the system Python installation. Additionally, virtualenv environments will make it easier to package and deploy our deep neural networks later on.

Let's start by installing Python, pip, and virtualenv, using the aptitude package manager in Ubuntu. The following is the code:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-dev python-virtualenv

Now we can create a virtual environment for our work. We will be keeping all our virtual environment files in a folder called ...
