For installation of Jupyter, Anaconda works well across all platforms, even most slightly older OSes.

It does work better for people to install Jupyter with Anaconda, rather than use virtual environments, because there's not the overhead of also having to learn about virtual environments. People tend to think of them as just associated with the class and don't use them as much for their own work outside of the workshop or course.
