Installing Packt Data Science Box
We have also created a separate virtual machine for some of the exercises in the book.
Download the Packt Data Science Virtual Machine Vagrant files from https://gitlab.com/packt_public/vm.
To load the VM, first download Vagrant from https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html.
