 **A code editor.** Any will do, but a graphical one like VS Code is the easiest starting point; later modules build on editor-integrated AI tools, and VS Code is the path of least resistance there.

-**Python 3.10 or newer.** Check with `python --version` or `python3 --version`. Whichever one prints a 3.10+ version is the command you'll use everywhere from here on. (On current macOS and default Ubuntu, it's usually `python3`; if `python` says "command not found," just read every `python` in the labs as `python3`.)

Check with `python3 --version`; if it prints a 3.10+ version, use `python3` everywhere from here on. If `python3` says "command not found" but `python --version` shows 3.10+ (older or some Windows setups), just read every `python3` in the labs as `python` instead.
