We download data for the Bitcoin-USD trade and work with the Pandas DataFrame. Finally, we visualise the data using Matplotlib. The material including the code is on GitHub (https://github.com/GerhardKling/DataWrangling/tree/main/YahooFinance). I show you how to create and activate a virtual environment (which is optional – but useful to do). We use the pip installer. If you do not have the pip installer, download get-pip.py. The download needs to be in same path as your Python installation - then change the directory into the folder. Using the command line, type: python get-pip.py, and finally check the installation: pip -V. To install virtual environments, use: pip install virtualenv Please leave a comment if you have any questions.
