For this course, you will need Python 3.6 or higher. Check whether your system fulfills those requirements by typing the following into your terminal:
$ python3 --version
If you don't have a fitting Python version installed, please head over to the Python website and follow their instructions to get Python 3 set up on your system.
Info: This course already assumes some familiarity with programming; it won't go into detail regarding this installation process. If you have troubles with the setup, please research online, ask on Discord, or speak with your mentor if you are working with a mentor. You could also consider taking our Python 101 course, where this topic is handled in more detail
Make sure that you are able to enter the Python interpreter and that the version is at least 3.6. If that is all set, you are ready to move on to getting your code editor.
