# Update package list
sudo apt update
# Install Python 3.11
sudo apt install python3.11 python3-pip
# Verify
python3 --version
pip3 --versionOpen Terminal/Command Prompt and run:
# Install all required packages at once
pip install numpy matplotlib scikit-learn jupyter seaborn pandas
# Or install individually:
pip install numpy # Numerical computing
pip install matplotlib # Plotting and visualization
pip install scikit-learn # Machine learning library
pip install jupyter # Interactive notebooks
pip install seaborn # Statistical visualization
pip install pandas # Data manipulationFor Windows: Use pip instead of pip3

You're ready for Lesson 4!Windows:
python -m pip install numpymacOS/Linux:
python3 -m pip install numpymacOS/Linux:
pip3 install --user numpy matplotlib scikit-learnWindows: Run Command Prompt as Administrator
# Check which Python you're using:
which python # macOS/Linux
where python # Windows
# Use specific version:
python3.11 -m pip install numpy# Reinstall Jupyter
pip install --upgrade jupyter
# Or use specific command
python -m jupyter notebookRestart kernel: In Jupyter: Kernel → Restart
# Check Python path:
import sys
print(sys.executable)
print(sys.path)# Use a faster mirror:
pip install numpy -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simplepip install --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org numpypython -m pip install --upgrade pipNo installation needed! Use Google Colab for cloud-based Jupyter notebooks.
# In first cell of Colab notebook:
!pip install --upgrade numpy matplotlib scikit-learn seaborn
# Then run the lesson code as normalWeek before lesson:
Day of lesson:
# Run on each computer:
pip install numpy matplotlib scikit-learn jupyter seaborn pandas
# Verify on each:
python verification_script.pyAlways have ready:
