# Prerequisites

Using Windows? You'll need to download [Windows Subsystem for Linux](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install).

This guide assumes that you already have [Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads/) installed.

This instructions use `virtualenv` but you may use other virtual environment managers like `venv` if you prefer.

```bash theme={null}
pip3 install virtualenv
```
