Technical specification/requirements

To take part in this course you will need the following software packages

  • Python (>= 2.6 > 3.0)
  • IPython (>= 0.12)
  • Numpy
  • Matplotlib
  • Cython (>= 0.15)

GridKa School has provided machines with the above software pre-installed, to which you can log in remotely, but if you install the required packages on your laptop you will be more comfortable working in a familiar environment.


Testing your installation

At the very least,

   ipython --pylab

should work without error.

More detailed tests to follow.
