# What you'll need

{% hint style="info" %}
As of today, CoreVisionX's SDK has limited public access.  Please contact us on our [discord server](https://discord.gg/TwjH8VnnnB) to gain access.  
{% endhint %}

What you need to get started 

* A computer with a python environment installed (we strongly recommend using <https://pixi.sh/latest/> and will have the strongest compatibility with our dependencies).  &#x20;
  * CoreVisionX has been extensively tested on Arm MacOS and Nvidia Jetson hardware.  Windows should theoretically work just fine. &#x20;
* A Github account with access to the CoreVisionX SDK and Calibration suite (see info box above)
* A CoreVisionX or other compatible stereo webcam. &#x20;
* A printed checkerboard for calibration.  We recommend this [one](https://github.com/CoreVisionX/calibration_checkerboards/blob/main/checkerboard_9x6_24mm.pdf)
