Installation instructions

We recommend to install the Anaconda distribution to the latest version: please visit continuum.io to download Anaconda. The tutorials work with python3 (python2 is no longer supported). After Anaconda installation update the distribution to the latest release: conda update anaconda.

Clone this repository with git; use this command: git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/addfor/tutorials if you want to download only the current commit (faster, takes less disk space):

Create a shallow clone with a history truncated to the specified number of commits.

NOTE: for Windows users, you can use this git client, or choose to download: click Clone or download and then Download ZIP (in this case skip the git clone step).

Next cd into tutorials and create the environment addfor_tutorials from the file addfor_tutorials.yml (make sure the file is in your directory). Issue the command conda env create -f addfor_tutorials.yml (the process could take few minutes). After the installation is finished, activate the environment:

Windows: activate myenv macOS and Linux: source activate myenv

All notebooks use our Addutils library: please install Addutils (for python3) before running the Notebooks. Download the zip file and open the Terminal or Anaconda Prompt: source activate addfor_tutorials if environment is not already active, then type pip install AddUtils-0.5.4-py34.zip (it should work for python3.4+).

At this point you are able to run the notebook with: jupyter-notebook and navigate through the directory tree.

Note: the first time you run the notebooks you could experience a brief slowdown due to matplotlib building its font cache. It should disappear the next session.
