Guns (Utilities) Needed for Following Machine Learning Tutorials

You need guns (software & hardware), lots of guns, to smoothly follow the machine learning tutorials.

In this lesson, you will get a brief introduction to virtual environments, what they are and why we need them.

Following that, you’ll learn about IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) and then get a brief overview of Ubuntu. The next step is the installation of Anaconda and the creation of virtual environments. Finally, you will install Tensorflow, which you will need later on in the machine learning tutorials.
