ubuntu-python-develop-setup

A short guide on setting up python development environments on Ubuntu, mainly for my own reference. I decided that whenever I encountered a problem I will try fix it and post the solution here.

make Ubuntu ready for development, make sure you install the drivers correctly

Especially graphics drivers, if not correctly installed, can lead to a whole bunch of problems:

ubuntu-drivers devices
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

install Anaconda3, download .sh file, chmod +x, run

https://www.anaconda.com/download/#linux

install Pycharm

install Filezella

Latex-related

Install texlive-science: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-latex-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux (sudo apt install texlive-science)
