Terminal

The terminal is an intrinsic part of each operating system. The Python support will strive to support any operating system students arrive with. There might, however, be some weird corner cases of operating systems we will have difficulties in supporting. But the most frequently used OS’ses, Windows, MacOS and most major Linux distributions will be supported.

Common for all is the use of terminals to get packages installed. Several IDE’s, such as conda installer and Spyder/VS Code/PyCharm installation integrations can ease the package installation process to a great deal. However, sometimes it might be necessary to run commands on the terminal to ensure proper installation and ensure a consistent environment.
