The purpose of this assignment is to set up your Python environment and ensure you have all the necessary packages installed. You will be using Conda to create a new environment and install the required packages. This setup will be used for subsequent assignments.

Instructions

1. Create a New Conda Environment

   • Open your terminal or command prompt.

   • Use a Conda command to create a new Conda environment named asg0 with Python 3.11 and the required packages (numpy, pandas, matplotlib, and scipy).

2. Activate the New Environment

   • After the environment is created, activate it using the appropriate Conda command.

3. Verify the Environment

   • List all Conda environments to verify that the new environment asg0 was created successfully.

4. Take a Screenshot

   • Take a screenshot of your terminal showing the list of Conda environments. Ensure that asg0 is listed.
