Anaconda will allow us to create what's called a virtual environment, which will contain all of the necessary python libraries we need to develop for the VRC platform.

You can find the download links here.

Install the Graphical Installer for Windows.

Use the default options presented by the installer.

With Anaconda now installed, press the Windows key, search for "anaconda" and click "Anaconda Navigator".

Click "Environments" on the left-hand side.

Click "Import" and select the file PCC/Python/environment.yml file from the repository you cloned in the previous step. This will create your Python virtual environment and download all the necessary packages we need to begin developing.
