Detailed knowledge of essential software and hardware is necessary to build a deep learning model. Most of the software is freely available on websites and anyone can download the requisite software to work. Python is an open-source programming language which is widely used to build convolutional neural network (CNN) modelling. TensorFlow is an open-source platform for deep learning developed by Google. It is a comprehensive program and gives the facilities to use a vast number of libraries. The various programs can be operated in Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab platforms. This chapter provides the guidance to download and install the essential programs to build a deep learning model.
