Welcome to your first lab! This semester, you're going to learn how to write your own Python code. But for this lab, you're just going to practice running some Python programs we give you.
**Important:** Before going to the lab, install Anaconda with Python 3.9 on your laptop. We've created videos showing how to do this on [Windows](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byb2o9gmPXo&ab_channel=MEENASYAMKUMAR) and [Mac](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHskppngCzc&ab_channel=MEENASYAMKUMAR). Please make sure that **both** checkboxes are checked during the Windows installation.
