You need a Linux-based development environment to follow through with this course. There are at least three ways to do it.

1. Install a Linux distribution on your computer natively.
2. Install Cygwin on your Windows installation.
3. Install the Windows Subsystem for Linux on your Windows installation.

You should then be able to use a code editor like VSCode or CLion. You can also choose to work purely from the command line.
