A quick walkthough on how to install Python 3.4 with IPython and Numpy using PyZo

See also a video.

  • download pyzo http://www.pyzo.org/downloads.html
  • if you don't know any better and use Windows, choose the windows 32bit installer: pyzo_distro-2014a.win32.exe
    Make sure you download pyzo 2014a, not 2015a (scroll down and look for it).
    If you get a warning message "The site ahead contains harmful programs", don't worry, just click 'details' and then 'visit this site'
  • when the download has finished, open the downloads folder
  • rename the pyzo installer (F2) to add extension .exe if it's missing
  • run the pyzo installer
  • yes, yes, next, next.
  • open the folder C:\pyzo2014a, and double-click IEP.exe
  • In the prompt, type conda update conda, then choose f (force)
  • Same with conda update pandas. Will also update numpy, scipy
  • conda update ipython
  • conda install ipython-notebook
  • conda install seaborn will also update matplotlib
  • create a folder for the course
  • click the link here, and then save it as a file by right-click -> 'save as'
  • remove the '.txt' extension and save the file in your course folder.
  • double click the ipython_notebook.bat file
  • wait for the IPython notebook to open in your browser
  • Click new and choose Python 3
  • click the top cell, enter print("Hello AGCT!")
  • press shit+enter
