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.

Installing Canopy

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.
