This tutorial is essential for anyone looking to utilize AI, generative AI applications, and open source programs on their computer. I'll guide you through the proper installation of specific Python versions, demonstrate how to alternate between different Python versions, and explain the installation and switching process for various CUDA and cuDNN versions based on individual application requirements. Additionally, I'll cover the installation of Microsoft Visual Studio and C++ Build Tools (Compile) at the correct version for applications that need compilation on your system, such as InsightFace or XPose.
