Our Toolkit: The Python Data Science Stack
Our Environment: Anaconda
• Our all-in-one "toolbox".
• A free distribution that bundles Python and all the key data science libraries (like Pandas,
SciPy, etc.).
• Manages our "virtual environments" to keep projects separate and clean.
Our Workspace: Jupyter Lab
• Our interactive "digital lab notebook".
• It's where we write code, run it in small chunks, see our plots and results, and write notes—
all in one place.
• Perfect for exploratory data analysis.

How to Change Your Directory in the Jupyter Lab Terminal
1. Open a Terminal in Jupyter Lab
2. Check Your Current Directory (pwd) : The command pwd stands for Print Working Directory.
3. Change Directory (cd) : Use the cd (Change Directory) command followed by the path to the folder
you want to move into.
Important Tip: Paths with SPACES - You must wrap the entire path in quotation marks (" ").
