[Install Altair and a notebook environment](https://altair-viz.github.io/getting_started/installation.html). The most recent versions of these notebooks use _Altair version 4_.\n2. Download the notebooks from the [releases page](https://github.com/uwdata/visualization-curriculum/releases). Typically you will want to use the most recent release.  (If you wish to use notebooks for Altair version 3, download the [Altair v3.2 release](https://github.com/uwdata/visualization-curriculum/releases/tag/altair-v3).)\n3. Open the notebooks in your local notebook environment. For example, if you have JupyterLab installed (v1.0 or higher is required), run `jupyter lab` within the directory containing the notebooks.\n\nDepending on your programming environment (and whether or not you have a live internet connection), you may want to specify a particular [renderer](https://altair-viz.github.io/user_guide/display_frontends.html) for Altair.\n\n## Credits\n\nDeveloped at the University of Washington by Jeffrey Heer, Dominik Moritz, Jake VanderPlas, and Brock Craft.
