Linux is the most important open-source operating system and is present on most remote training servers including Paramganga at IITR. So we want you to follow the resources and become familiar with basic command line features, ssh and virtual environments.

## Things to be installed beforehand

### WSL (for windows)


### MacOS only
Please try to install Homebrew as the package manager in your systems
