   This section describes the setup of a Anaconda environment for running most of the tools written that are written in the Python programming language. There exist a few tools that require a different anaconda environment. The installation of the environments for these tools are described together with these tools.

+# AI-Toolbox - Installers - Anaconda
+
+Many tools in the AI-Toolbox are written in the Python programming language. Python programs, in particular those that make use of machine learning, are notorious for depending on many Python packages in very specific versions. Anaconda is both a package manager that automatically checks for package dependencies and a tool for creating multiple Python programming environments. These virtual environments are isolated from each other and the operating system which helps to avoid conflicts between Python packages. The AI-Toolbox makes use of Anaconda as package manager and to setup its own dedicated Python programming environment. 
+
+Anaconda can be downloaded for free from [here](https://www.anaconda.com/download/success). The installer for Anaconda can be executed with default options. Once Anaconda has been installed, the Anaconda terminal becomes available. 
+
+Under MacOS, the regular Terminal application is at a same an Anaconda terminal. Accordingly, to start the Anaconda terminal on MacOS, simply start the regular Terminal application. You can verify that this application also behaves as an Anaconda terminal by the presence of the string "(base)" at the beginning of the terminal prompt.
+
+
+
+Under Windows, the Anaconda terminal is its own application. You can start it from the Start Menu by typing "Anaconda Prompt".
+
+![Anaconda_Terminal_Windows](docs_media/Anaconda_Terminal_Windows.png)
+
+There exist a number of commands that are specific for the Anaconda terminal. These commands are used for creating or deleting environments, installing packages, or conduct other environment specific activities. All these commands start with "conda" and are then followed by keywords and parameters that are specific for each functionality. Included in this repository are two documents that list the most popular conda commands: the document "conda_commands.txt" is a very brief overview of those conda commands are likely useful to install and use the "Premiere" environment. The document "coonda-cheatsheet.pdf" is a more exhaustive overview over all conda commands.
+
+The main Anaconda environment to run Python programs in the AI-Toolbox is named "Premiere". There are three different approaches for creating this environment: creating the environment by executing a script, creating the environment by importing a previously exported environment, creating the environment by manually typing the required conda commands. Each of these approaches is described here.
+
+## Create the Environment by Executing a Script
+
+The installer script that is specific for MacOS is named "premiere_macos_cpu_install.sh".

+# AI-Toolbox - Installers - C++ compiler
+
+A toolchain to compile C++ programs is required for two reasons: to install some Python packages through the pip package manager and to compile those AT-Toolbox tools that make use of the Openframeworks creative coding environment. 
+
+The simplest approach to install a C++ compiler toolchain is by installing the software development IDEs provided by Apple for MacOS and by Microsoft for Windows. In the case of Apple, the IDE is XCode, in the case of Windows, it is Visual Studio. 
+
+## Installing XCode
+
+An Apple developer account is required to download and install XCode. Such an account can be created for free [here](https://account.apple.com/account?appId=632&returnUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.apple.com%2Fdownload%2F). When your account is active, you can download XCode from [here](https://developer.apple.com/download/applications/). 
+
+## Installing Visual Studio
+
+Visual Studio community edition can be used for free and is available for download from [here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/). When running the installer, make sure to set to chose "Desktop development with C++" under the Workloads tab. To run Visual Studio, it needs to be linked to your Microsoft account. If you don't have such an account, you can create it [here](https://account.microsoft.com/account/Account).
