Software Requirements:

1. Python (Windows):
Step 1: Go to the Anaconda Website and choose a Python 3.x graphical installer.
Step 2: Locate your download and double click it.
Step 3: When the installation screen appears, click on Next. Read the license agreement and
click on I Agree.
Step 4: Click on Next.
Step 5: Note your installation location and then click Next.
Step 6: This is an important part of the installation process. The recommended approach is to not
check the box to add Anaconda to your path. This means you will have to use Anaconda
Navigator or the Anaconda Command Prompt (located in the Start Menu under
"Anaconda") when you wish to use Anaconda. You can always add Anaconda to your
PATH later if you don't check the box.
Step 7: Click on Next.
Step 8: You can install Microsoft VSCode if you wish, but it is optional. With respect to this
course, we recommend you to skip and not to install VSCode.
Step 9: Click on Finish.

2. Python (Linux):
Step 1: Start by updating the local package manager. Open a terminal window and enter the
following:
sudo apt-get update
If your system doesn’t have curl, install it by entering:
sudo apt-get install curl

You can check the developer’s download page to view the newest version of Anaconda.

Step 2: Switch to the /tmp directory and use curl to download the installer using your
command terminal:
• cd /tmp
• curl –O
https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3- 2020.02-Linux-
x86_64.sh
This version is designed for Python 3.7. If you are using Python 2.7, use the appropriate URL.

Step 3: The Anaconda installer is a bash script. To run the installation script, use the command:
bash Anaconda3-2020.02-Linux-x86_64.sh
A license agreement will appear. Use the Enter key to review the agreement. At the bottom, type yes to agree to the
terms. The installer will prompt you to accept the default location, or install to a different location.
Step 4: The installation will finish. After successful installation, the following will appear:

installation finished.

Do you wish the installer to prepend the Anaconda3


install location to PATH in your /home/user/.bashrc ?
[yes|no]

This determines if you want to use the conda command without changing the directory. Type yes and hit
enter, unless you have a specific need to do otherwise. The system will respond as follows:

Appending source /home/user/anaconda3/bin/activate to


/home/linux4one/.bashrc
A backup will be made to: /home/user/.bashrc-
anaconda3.bak

For this change to become active, you have to open a new


terminal.

Thank you for installing Anaconda3!

Step 5: The system will ask if you want to install Microsoft Visual Studio Code Editor. It will
display the following:
Anaconda is partnered with Microsoft! Microsoft VSCode is a
streamlined code editor with support for development operations
like debugging, task running and version control.

To install Visual Studio Code, you will need:

- Administrator Privileges
- Internet connectivity
Visual Studio Code License:
https://code.visualstudio.com/license
Do you wish to proceed with
the installation of Microsoft VSCode? [yes|no]
You can type no because in this course we don’t require VS Code. However, if you want to use it in
future then you can decide by typing yes or no to continue.

Step 6: Once finished, activate the installation by entering:


source ~/.bashrc

Step 7: Now you can search your start menu and start Anaconda by clicking on its icon.
3. R Studio (Windows):
Step 1: Download the R from http://cran.us.r-project.org/.
Step 2: Click on Download R for Windows. Click on base. Click on Download R 4.0.2 for
Windows (or a newer version that appears).
Step 3: Install R. Leave all default settings in the installation options.
Step 4: Download RStudio Desktop for windows from
https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/.
Step 5: Select RStudio Desktop (Free) and hit Download.
Step 6: Click Download RStudio for Windows (1.3.1073)
Step 7: Choose default installation options.

4. R Studio (Linux):

Step 1: Privileged access to your Ubuntu System as root or via sudo command is required. In order to
install RStudio on Ubuntu 18.04 or 16.04, we will first need to install the r- basepackage. Open
up terminal and Enter:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt -y install r-base
Step 2: RStudio for Ubuntu system comes as the *.deb install-able package. The easiest way to install a
DEB file on Ubuntu Linux is by using the gdebi command. In case gdebi is not available on
your system you can install it by executing the below command:

$ sudo apt install gdebi-core


Step 3: Next, navigate your browser to the official RStudio download page and download the latest
Ubuntu/Debian RStudio *.deb package available. Download the Ubuntu 18.04 or 16.04
package. After downloading is completed, you can check with the below commands:
$ cd Downloads/
$ ls
rstudio-xenial-1.1.442-amd64.deb

Step 4: At this stage we are ready to install RStudio on our Ubuntu 18.04 or 16.04 system. Run the
below gdebi command from the location of your downloaded RStudio package while
replacing the package name wherever appropriate. When prompted, answer y to proceed with
the installation:

$ sudo gdebi rstudio-xenial-1.1.442-amd64.deb


Step 5: Once the installation of RStudio on your Ubuntu system is completed you can start RStudio by
executing the following linux command:

$ rstudio

Alternatively, search your start menu and start RStudio by clicking on its icon.
5. Latex (Windows):
To work with Latex on your computer you need to have two software, first one should be any distribution of latex (it
will have necessary software and modules required for processing and producing .tex file and creating pdf.) and an
Editor for latex for example TexWorks, or TexMaker etc.
