To remove these incompatibility issues, you simply have to set up the Python environment by following the steps mentioned below. </span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We recommend using the Anaconda and Jupyter notebook for an optimum user experience. </span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Note that each step mentioned below is important to run the codes without any error.

For example, if the name of your environment is <strong>quantra_py</strong>, then you can type "conda activate quantra_py<strong>"</strong>.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hurray!
