 The minimum requirement to complete this tutorial is an Ubuntu 22.04 computer with a connected display and strong integrated graphics or a dedicated GPU. However, completing the tutorial in this way will not simulate LTE network conditions and real world computation limitations. Thus it is strongly suggested that you either purchase components for HITL Python or Java simulation.
