The code examples in this book should work on most modern operating systems. For all chapters, Python 2 and pip is required. To install Python, go to https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download. To install pip, go to http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing.html. Instructions to install software are given throughout the chapters. Most of the time, we need to run the following command with admin privileges:
$ pip install <some software>
