< Kevin Kho> how about installing Orion in a Conda environment on Ubuntu 20 I am jus starting to learn Prefect and trying to decide if I should start with Orion or Core

Kevin Kho · Answer

I think that should work If you need something production ready in the next month then Core would be suggested

Anna Geller · Answer

Ubuntu 20 should work well because it ships with Python 3 8 10 out of the box so it should be compatible with Orion without having to install Python separately I think you could do ```sudo apt get update y sudo apt get upgrade y sudo apt get install software properties common y sudo apt get install python3 dateutil y sudo apt install python3 pip y PATH= $HOME local bin $PATH export PATH python3 is installed by default with version 3 8 10 pip3 install U prefect gt =2 0a ```
