This repository contains tutorials for the Astropy project (also on github).
The easiest way to get started quickly is to use binder to run the tutorials in your web browser - when this loads, click the "tutorials" folder and you should see all the tutorials:
To run the tutorials locally, you need ipython installed. If you have IPython 2.0, you can just start the notebook server in this directory:
ipython notebook --matplotlib=inline
But if you have an older version, you first need to cd into the appropriate
subdirectory before starting that command.
The tutorials are initially empty of any output. You can run them by pressing "Run All" under the "Cell" menu in the ipython notebook.
To deploy the notebooks, you will need:
- IPython
- Astropy
- runipy
- pandoc
Note, all except pandoc can be pip installed. To install pandoc, follow the instructions here: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/installing.html.
