 For `linux` you need Docker running, on macOS or Linux. For `macos`, you need a Mac machine, and note that this script is going to automatically install MacPython on your system, so don't run on your development machine. For `windows`, you need to run in Windows, and `cibuildwheel` will install required versions of Python to `C:\cibw\python` using NuGet.
