Local Python installation


Follow the following instructions to install Miniconda and create a Python environment for the course:

  1. Download the Python 3.6 installer for Windows, macOS, or Linux from https://conda.io/miniconda.html and install with default settings. Note for Windows: If you don't know if your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit, then open Settings-System-About-System type to find out your xx-bit system.

    • Windows: Double-click on the Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe file.
    • macOS: Run bash Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh in your terminal.
    • Linux: Run bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh in your terminal.
  2. Windows: Open the Anaconda Prompt terminal from the Start menu. MacOS, Linux: Open a terminal.

  3. Install git: conda install git.

  4. Download the GitHub repository of the course: git clone https://github.com/xbresson/CE9010_2021.

  5. Go to folder CE9010_2021 with cd CE9010_2021, and create a Python virtual environment with the packages required for the course: conda env create -f environment.yml. Note that the environment installation may take some time.

    Notes:
    The installed conda packages can be listed with conda list.
    Some useful Conda commands are pwd, cd, ls -al, rm -r -f folder/
    Add a python library to the Python environment: conda install -n CE9010_2021 numpy (for example)
    Read Conda command lines for packages and environments
    Read managing Conda environments



Running local Python notebooks


  1. Windows: Open the Anaconda Prompt terminal from the Start menu. MacOS, Linux: Open a terminal.

  2. Activate the environment. Type: source activate CE9010_2021 or conda activate CE9010_2021.
