# SETUP: DO THIS FIRST

1. Download and install the newest version of Python (if it is not already installed): <https://www.python.org/downloads/>.
2. Download and install Anaconda3 (Windows OS guide [HERE](https://problemsolvingwithpython.com/01-Orientation/01.03-Installing-Anaconda-on-Windows/)).
3. Write down the installation path for Anaconda3 as you will need it later to run the scripts. An example is "C:\Users\MAPIR\Anaconda3\\".
4. Open Anaconda Prompt (which is installed with Anaconda3)
5. Run the following command to install the necessary Python libraries to run the scripts:

```
pip install glob3 numpy opencv-contrib-python Pillow ExifRead matplotlib imutils rasterio
```

If any of the above packages are not able to be installed you may need to update using the Anaconda Navigator GUI:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mapir.gitbook.io/mapir-scripts/setup-do-this-first.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
