1 Course-Specific Software Development Tools

You may use any operating system and development environment that supports the following tools. The responsibility of choosing and installing the tools is yours alone -- you will not receive any assistance. While it is possible to install these tools on Linux/Unix, OSX, and MS-Windows, it is easiest to do so on Linux/Unix. So, you may want to consider running Linux/Unix either on the hardware or on a virtual machine. (Autolab is running Ubuntu 18.04.)
