SciPy India 2014 will feature a lot of hands-on, practical tutorial sessions that require the participants to have some software on their respective computers. Please follow the instructions here before you come to the conference, so that we may start the tutorials without any delay.
Canopy is the primary Python distribution that we will be using during the conference. You may use Anaconda, or the system Python distribution, or any other Python interpreter for the conference. However, please note that we may not be able to support any other distribution other than Canopy. This is because the Python packages we will be providing for the tutorials are customized for Canopy.
Please visit this link https://store.enthought.com/downloads/ and click on the "Download Canopy Express" button to download the Canopy installer. Run this installer to install Canopy.
You will need to install a few Python packages for succesfully completing tutorials. Please click on one of the following links, depending on your operating system and architecture:

Each of these links should redirect you to a zip file. Please download the zip file and save it in a convenient location on your computer, where you can easily locate it. Unzip the zip archive, this should yeild a file named "install.py" and a folder named "eggs" (it is important that file 'install.py' and the 'eggs' are in the same location).
By now you should have Canopy installed. Start Canopy, and in the Canopy menu bar, go to Tools > Canopy Terminal (Or Tools > Canopy Command Prompt in the case of Windows users). This should open up a terminal or a command prompt. Through the command prompt, navigate into the folder which containes the "install.py" file. Make sure that the same location also contains the "eggs" folder.
Now, run the following command in the terminal (or the command prompt):
python install.py
Please wait for the command to finish executing. When the command runs finishes, you should have all the packages required during the tutorials.
Congratulations! You are now ready for the conference!
