 - Python should be installed and in PATH - [**pyenv**](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) is a good option to manage Python versions.
   - On Windows, it will be [`pyenv-win`](https://pyenv-win.github.io/pyenv-win/) to manage versions. Otherwise or install from https://www.python.org/ manually or using `winget`.

 We use [**pipenv**](https://pipenv.pypa.io/en/latest/) to manage dependencies and recreate easily on all OS. `pipenv` will be installed as part of the configuration if not already.
