The examples in this chapter, and more broadly in most of this book, use a command-line terminal. That means that you type commands into a terminal and receive text responses. Furthermore, the examples are demonstrated on an operating system based on the Linux kernel and GNU software system, specifically the latest long-term stable release of Ubuntu (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS). The majority of the examples can be replicated on other operating systems such as Windows or Mac OS, with small modifications to the commands. The biggest difference between operating systems is the _package manager_ which installs the various software libraries and their pre-requisites. In the given examples, we will use +apt+, which is the package manager for Ubuntu. On Mac OS, a common package manager used for open source development is Homebrew (command +brew+) found at https://brew.sh.

In most of the examples here, we will be building the software directly from the source code. While this can be quite challenging, it gives us the most power and control. You may choose to use docker containers, pre-compiled packages or other installation mechanisms instead if you get stuck!
