If you're using Windows, make sure you have the [latest Visual C++ Redistributable](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#latest-microsoft-visual-c-redistributable-version) installed.

### Linux prerequisites

If you're using Linux, make sure you have the system library for SQLite installed, for example, `sqlite-devel` or `libsqlite3-dev` depending on the package manager appropriate to your system.

### Python prerequisites

Positron works with [actively supported versions](https://devguide.python.org/versions/#versions) of Python, from 3.8 to Python 3.12. We recommend [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) and [pyenv for Windows](https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win) for managing Python versions.

Positron communicates with Python via the IPykernel package, so it needs to be installed for the Python environment you want to use with Positron. If you are managing your Python project using a tool like venv or conda, add `ipykernel` to your `requirements.txt` file. You can install IPykernel manually as follows:
