3.1 Python Task

• Create a virtual environment for this repository

• Install the package matplotlib

• Run “python-example.py”

This should create a “python-example.pdf” with a boring chart as an output.

• Preserve your environment by runnning the following in the terminal:

terminal

pip freeze > requirements.txt

This command saves all of the package versions in your venv to a simple text file, requirements.txt. You (or others) can use requirements.txt to recreate the environment by running pip install -r requirements.txt.

3.2 Julia Task

In the same repository folder,

• Create a Julia environment for this repository

  • Make sure to link your VS Code workspace to the environment

• Install the package Plots.jl ¹

• Run “julia-example.py”

¹ Julia always referes to packages as “Example”.jl, when you actuall install them, you just use add Example, without the ‘jl’ extension.

This should create a “julia-example.pdf” with a sine chart as an output.

3.3 Push to Github

You should make sure to commit and push the following new files to Github:

• requirements.txt
• python-example.pdf
• Manifest.toml
• Project.toml
• julia-example.pdf

You do not need to commit either:

• .vscode
• .venv (this should have a gitignore by default)
