In this article, we guide you through the process of setting up your Linux system for AI development. Starting with the installation of essential tools like Python, pip, and Git, we ensure that you have everything you need to get started with building AI models.

We then walk you through installing popular AI libraries such as TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch, and explain how to set up a virtual environment to manage your projects. Finally, we show you how to build your first AI model — a simple neural network to classify handwritten digits using the MNIST dataset.

This beginner-friendly guide is designed to make the setup process smooth and help you take your first steps into AI development on Linux.
