<h1 class="entry-title">Software Installation</h1>

<p>The programs in the book and the proposed solutions are tested to run

on <tt class="docutils literal">Python 3.5</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">matplotlib 1.4.2</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">matplotlib-venn</span> 0.11</tt> and <tt class="docutils literal">sympy

0.7.6</tt>. The version numbers stated are the minimum requirements and the

programs should also work with higher versions of the

software. However, if there is any change, it will be noted

accordingly here.</p>

<p>There are various ways of installing these required software but one

of the easiest is to use the <a class="reference external" href="http://continuum.io/downloads">Anaconda</a> Python 3 software distribution

available freely for Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.</p>

<p>Once you have installed Anaconda, over time you can keep it updated to the latest version using the following commands from your terminal:</p>

<pre class="literal-block">

$ conda update conda

$ conda update anaconda
