2. Install Python 3.9.12

You can check your python installation with

>>> python3 --version

You may also have access to Python 3.9.12 via the python3 command

If you do not have Python 3.9.12 installed on your machine, download it here. This is the same version that is used in CS 1110 this semester.

3. Download Demo Starter Code

4. Set up your Virtual Environment

Windows

# to create a venv in your current directory, run
>>> python3 -m venv venv

# to activate your venv, from the folder containing the venv folder run
>>> .\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

# to deactivate your venv, run
>>> deactivate

Mac/Linux

# to create a venv in your current directory, run
$ python3 -m venv venv

# to activate your venv, from the directory containing the venv folder run
$ source ./venv/bin/activate

# to deactivate your venv, run
$ deactivate
