Development Dependencies
----------- ------------
**Windows users**: All scripts are made for linux devices. Use the Ubuntu terminal for Windows (or even better - make `make` , `python3`, `g++`
the switch ;) ). If you are using Visual Studio Code you can use
a [WSL Remote](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl) window, or use the
Devcontainer (see more details later).
You need at least 3Gb RAM available to run MapComplete, but you'll preferably have 8GB of free RAM available. (Nix users may run `nix-env -iA nixos.gnumake nixos.gdc nixos.python3`)
