Installing external libraries
Now, your first task is to install external libraries to your Python installation.
Preferably, you will create a new virtual environment (or update an existing one) for setting up these libraries.
Please see our pre-sessional Module 2 if you have forgotten how to do this.
This is more important as you work on your other courses in your degree. You do not want the Python installation for one of your courses to mess up the other, do you not?
Now, please install these packages to your virtual environment:
numpy
scipy
matplotlib
pandas
sklearn
All these can be installed using pip install <module-name>
. In fact, you can set this up in one single line: pip install numpy scipy matplotlib pandas sklearn
.
And once you are done, you are ready to move on!
