Getting Started

With Vagrant and VirtualBox installed:

$ vagrant up

After the vm boots and finishes installations, visiting http://0.0.0.0:8888 in your host's browser will bring you to a dashboard of IPython notebooks . The default notebooks are an excellent series by jrjohansson on scientific computing with python.

Using Linux

Eidiya runs on ubuntu server 14.04. To access Linux and all of the above Python libraries directly,

$ cd Eidyia
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh
$ python3
Python 3.3.1 (default, Apr 17 2013, 22:30:32) 
[GCC 4.7.3] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy as np
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Or, alternatively

>>> from pylab import *

With x11 forwarding, matplotlib can also be fully utilized from the command line. The installation script also installs git, curl, and ubuntu's build-essential (g++, make, etc.).
