Prerequisites

TL;DR:

  1. pyenv (recommended)
  2. python (3.11)
  3. pipenv (sub-package of python)
  4. docker
  5. docker compose
  6. vscode (optional, but recommended)


1. Install pyenv

pyenv is a python version manager.
It provides easy installation and usage of multiple versions of python.

Simplified overview of what pyenv can achieve

Pyenv overview


MacOS:

brew install pyenv

Windows: https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win



2. Install python

If you don't want pyenv, install python 3.11 manually.

pyenv install 3.11.0

You may now execute commands with this python version via pyenv exec:

pyenv will automatically recognise the file I made .python-version.
It will attempt use this version when you are inside the directory of this workshop.

pyenv exec python -V


3. Install pipenv

pipenv is a sub-package of python that can be install via pip.
-m calls upon a sub-module.

This is the python equivalent of npm/yarn.
Installing packages via pipenv will download them into folder .venv/, similar to node_modules/.

pyenv exec python -m pip install pipenv

You can now use pipenv. Example:

pyenv exec python -m pipenv
