Hey everyone and welcome back after the summer break. Since a lot of new subscribers joined this channel "while I was already doing some coding stuff", I was thinking to make a new simple and short video on how to setup your environment and how to get the code running!

Please note that I do my work and research on MacOS. But most things apply to Linux and Windows, too.

Our next science project will be about meteors (falling stars). Stay tuned!
