Every tutorial assumes you have:

1. A [Box developer account](https://account.box.com/signup/developer#ty9l3).
2. A Box application configured in the [Developer Console](https://account.box.com/developers/console) - see [Create your first application](/guides/getting-started/first-application).
3. Python 3.11 or higher installed locally.

Each tutorial lists additional prerequisites, such as specific scopes, permissions, and account configuration, at the top of the page.
