How to Set Up a Python
Environment
The first step to use Python for data analysis
is to set up a Python environment on your
computer. A Python environment is a
collection of software tools that allow you to
run Python code and install additional
libraries.
One of the easiest ways to set up a Python
environment is to use Anaconda. Anaconda is
a free and open-source distribution of
Python that comes with many popular
libraries for data analysis.

Install Anaconda
To install Anaconda, go to below link and download
the installer for your operating.
Once installed then launch Jupyter Notebook from
Anaconda Navigator. Jupyter Notebook is an
interactive web-based application that allows you
to write and run Python code in your browser.

Learn Basics of Python
Before you can use Python for data analysis, you
need to learn some basic concepts of Python
programming. I recommend this course “Python for
Data Science and Machine Learning Bootcamp”
from Udemy by Jose Portilla.

Working with Python Libraries
Python has a rich set of libraries that can help you
perform various data analysis tasks. Some of the
most popular and useful libraries are - Pandas,
Numpy, Scipy and Matplotlib.
I recommend this course “Data Analysis with
Python” from Coursera by IBM.

Working with Datasets
To practice working with datasets in Python, you
can use some of the following sources:
Kaggle: Kaggle is a platform for data science and
machine learning competitions and provides
datasets on various topics.
UCI Machine Learning Repository: UCI Machine
Learning Repository is a collection of datasets
for machine learning research.
Scikit-learn: Scikit-learn is a library for machine
learning in Python. It provides built-in datasets
for classification, regression, and clustering
tasks.

Visualize Data with Python
Data visualization is the process of creating
graphical representations of data to communicate
information and insights.
Python has many libraries for data visualization,
such as Matplotlib, Seaborn, Plotly, Bokeh, and
more.
I recommend this course “Plot With pandas: Python
Data Visualization for Beginners” from Real Python
by Reka Horvath.
