1 Setting Up Python, Anaconda, and Spyder
Even if you’ve never coded before, this chapter will guide you through installing the Python software you need to start running Python scripts for this book. We’ll be using Anaconda and Spyder, so we’ll discuss the advantages of choosing this Python distribution and development environment, respectively. I’ll guide you through the installation process based on your operating system, whether that’s Windows, Mac, or Linux. Then you’ll learn how to start coding in the Spyder editor. We’ll discuss basic Python rules and operations at the end.
