1a. Go to the tutorial at Google Colab

If you’re comfortable signing into Google and running the tutorial there, go to https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1AVNczaPT2TOx74Lhj1WgBBILIhL-qcKC?usp=sharing.

1b. Or install Python and Jupyter Notebooks on your own computer

Otherwise, do the following steps.

1. Download the Python tutorial notebook file.
2. Install Python on your computer. Follow the directions for your operating system (Windows, Mac, etc.) at https://realpython.com/installing-python/.
3. Install Jupyter Notebooks on your computer. Follow the instructions for “Installation” and “Starting the Jupyter Notebook Server” at https://realpython.com/jupyter-notebook-introduction/#installation.
   1. Where the instructions have code labeled “shell” or say to run something in your “terminal,” you can do this on Windows by going to Start > PowerShell or on Mac by opening the “Terminal” application under Applications > Utilities > Terminal. An alternative for both systems is in Visual Studio Code to select Terminal > New Terminal from the menu.
   2. When you start Jupyter Notebook, it should open a web page http://localhost:8888/tree. If you don’t see that page, try the command python -m jupyter notebook in your terminal instead, or paste http://localhost:8888/tree into your web browser.
4. In the Jupyter web page that opens on your computer click “Upload”. Select the file you downloaded, and you should now be able to run the cells interactively.
