A repository for the 2018 Spring semester Society of Physics Students (SPS) and Rutgers Astronomical Society (RAS) astro hack sessions.
Please download or clone the repository using:
git clone https://github.com/rutgers-physics-ml/astro-hack-2018-spring
You will need Anaconda Python 3.6 or later, and we will supply all
necessary packages. Note that you will need an internet connection.
First add the conda-forge channel for access to some necessary
Python packages:
conda config --add channels conda-forge
Install the rest of the packages by running:
conda env create -f environment.yml
These packages have now been installed on your system, to a virtual
environment in Anaconda Python named astrohack.
You will need to activate the astrohack environment before executing any
code or serving any Jupyter notebooks. This can be accomplished by running:
source activate astrohack
You can view execute Jupyter notebooks (formerly IPython notebooks) by running the command:
jupyter notebook
You can specify a browser type or port number by using the flags
jupyter notebook --browser=firefox --port=8888
At this point, Jupyter will serve a notebook at localhost:8888. You can
stop the notebook at any time by using the keyboard command <Ctrl-c>.
