Requirements
============

.. warning::
    You need a good internet connection! We are using GitHub, Conda and external data.

.. warning::
    Make sure you have enough *disk space* available!
    Especially when you are using a Virtual Machine.
    You should have **at least 5 GB of free disk space** available.

The main requirement of this workshop is :ref:`requirements_conda`.
It works on most common platforms like Linux, macOS and Windows.
If you don't have Conda yet ... we will install it at the beginning of this workshop.

.. note::

  You will need a text-editor to edit Python code. Choose your favorite one ...
  if you don't have one yet, you can try  `Atom <https://atom.io/>`_
  or `Kate <https://kate-editor.org/>`_.

.. tip::

  On Windows you can also use `VirtualBox <https://www.virtualbox.org/>`_ with a Linux Installation,
  like `Linux Mint <https://www.linuxmint.com/>`_
