How to install the environement needed for the tutorial:

Tools used in the tutorial:

NumPy,SciPy: package for scientific computing with Python
iPython: an interactive shell, we'll be working inside of a web interface called Jupyter (or IPython) Notebooks
Matplotlib: usefull ploting library

Download and install on your computer Anaconda from this site: all the needed librairies will be included (install the version with Python 3.5)
Open an new shell: you should now be able to run the command jupyter notebook to launch the notebook
Note: In a Linux environment, if jupyter command is not available, make sure that Anaconda is correctly loaded in your environement (in your ~/.bash_rc file, the following line should appear: export PATH="/YourAnacondaInstallDirectory/bin:$PATH")

Download and install the virtual box needed for your operating system: VirtualBox
Download the environement OVA from this link
Import it in the virtual box (File>Import)
Start the virtual box (in case needed, the password is stat)
In a terminal, run the command jupyter notebook : the tree directory should appear in Firefox

In a clean directory, download the test notebook
Start the jupyter notebook (with the command jupyter notebook), you should see that in your web browser:
Click on the notebook InstallTest.ipynb to open it
Check that the code in every single cell can be executed (go in the cell and then execute it by typing Enter + Shift)
