There are no official instructions for running locally. That is outside the scope of the course. But with that said, there have been some valuable threads from fellow students who have explored this space. E.g. here’s one that will get you started down that road and explain things exactly like the question you are asking: how to figure out the versions of everything.
But as I commented above, I think this is wasted effort at this point. The real problem is you need to understand how the algorithm works and a debugger will not help with that. And if you need to debug, the “old fashioned” method of adding print statements is the quickest and easiest way to see what is happening in your code.
