Works both on Windows and Linux. The macOS is not for serious work anymore.
Run conda CLI.
Create conda environment and install basic apps with
conda create --name rpz python=3 numpy matplotlib scipy pillow pandas
Do one of the following:
Work in the interactive python interpreter after activating the environment with
conda activate rpz
OR
Work in an IDE of your choice (IntelliJ PyCharm, of course) and set the interpreter of your project to the
python executable/binary in your environment's path. Run your scripts using PyCharm's
configurations.
