Installing and configuring Quarto will work best when the computer also has an installation of a recent edition of Python and Jupyter Notebooks. Before proceeding to install Quarto I recommend installing both Python and Jupyter Notebooks via the Anaconda distribution of Python.
The Anaconda distribution will best serve most users looking to learn, study, practice, write about, or explore data science. Take my advice, avoid other installation options. Go right for the Anaconda distribution. Also, avoid mini-conda.
