Installation
To complete the entire workshop, we will need four pieces of software: a Bash, Git, a code editor (though any plain text editor will work in a pinch), and python (including ipython noteboook). With these tools, your computer will be ready for a wide variety of scientific computing tasks. One of our goals in this workshop is to help you get these cutting-edge programs installed so you can focus on science in the future, not installation.Bash
Bash is a commonly-used shell. Using a shell gives you more power to do more tasks more quickly with your computer.
Mac
The default shell in all versions of Mac OS X is bash,
so no need to install anything. You access bash from
the Terminal (found
in /Applications/Utilities). You may want
to keep Terminal in your dock for this workshop.
Windows
Install Git Bash following these instructions. This gives you the Bash shell plus Git.
Linux
The default shell is usually bash but if not you can
get to bash by opening a terminal and
typing bash. No need to install
anything.
Code Editor
When you're writing code, it's nice to have a text editor that is optimized for writing code, with features like automatic color-coding of key words.
Mac
We recommend Text Wrangler or Sublime Text.
Windows
Notepad++ is a popular free code editor for Windows.
Linux
Kate is one option for Linux users.
Python
Mac / Windows / Linux
We recommend the all-in-one scientific Python installer Anaconda.
Git
Git is the most popular version control system, a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later, in the scientific community.
Mac
Download the graphical OSX Git installer from Sourceforge and install following instructions.
Windows
Install Git Bash following these instructions. This gives you the Bash shell plus Git.
Linux
If you are on a Debian-based distribution like Ubuntu, try apt-get:
$ apt-get install git
If you're on Fedora, you can use yum:
$ yum install git-core
