Algorithm Trading Session 1: Basics of Python and Jupyter

We have all heard about Python. It is a programming language used in algorithmic trading. Let me introduce you to Jupyter. Refer — https://jupyter.org

Previously it was known as iPython where You can write step by step code and it was executed in step by step method giving you a broad perspective on what to change or modify and more importantly, where is the mistake.

Later it spun off as Project Jupyter which now supports execution environments for few dozen languages.

Step 1: Installing Python

Head here — python.org

Then browse around to download the latest version of Python. Note although my image currently shows How I got it, Some of you will be reading this after a couple of years too. Just browse around, Download, Install it.

Also, You can take the help of Google if You’re slight more novice, Just Youtube install python windows

While installing, You must make sure that Python is added to the Environment Path. For that, You need to click “tick” in the first dialog. (It is not ticked by default.) If you have already installed it, don’t worry, just reinstall it and this time make sure its “ticked”.
