From the course: Develop ML Models with Python and T-SQL

Setting up the development environment

- [Instructor] Setting up the development environment is fairly simple. First, will you need a Python editor, and for our example, we'll be using Visual Studio Code, which is a free download. Next, we'll need a Python Language Interpreter, and we'll be utilizing version 3.13, and that is also available as a free download. After the installation of the Python Interpreter, then we'll need to install some libraries, more specifically, Panda's SQLAlchemy, (indistinct) and PI ODBC. For the database portion, we'll need SQL Server Database installed, and we can utilize the developer edition for that. And we'll also need SQL Server Management Studio to be able to query and update the database. All items that are mentioned here are available free of charge as a download.
