# What system requirements do I need if I am taking the Data Analytics course?

Students who are taking any of the Data Analytics courses will need a computer capable of running a development environment: a modern 64-bit CPU, with at least 4GB of RAM and 5GB of available storage running a recent, or preferably, the latest version of Windows, Linux or macOS.

If you use a company computer, you may need to check with your IT department to ensure you have access and permissions to install the required software.
