Install

This project requires Python 2.7 and the following Python libraries installed:

You will also need to have software installed to run and execute an iPython Notebook

Udacity recommends our students install Anaconda, a pre-packaged Python distribution that contains all of the necessary libraries and software for this project.

Code

Template code is provided in the notebook titanic_survival_exploration.ipynb notebook file. Additional supporting code can be found in titanic_visualizations.py. While some code has already been implemented to get you started, you will need to implement additional functionality when requested to successfully complete the project.

Run

In a terminal or command window, navigate to the top-level project directory titanic_survival_exploration/ (that contains this README) and run one of the following commands:

jupyter notebook titanic_survival_exploration.ipynb

or

ipython notebook titanic_survival_exploration.ipynb

This will open the iPython Notebook software and project file in your web browser.
