<h3>Python<a class="headerlink" href="#python" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>There are a number of python distributions available – many designed for easier support of scientific programming:</p>
<p>Anaconda
Enthought Canopy
Python(x,y)</p>
<p>But for core use, the installer from python.org is the way to go:</p>
<p><a class="reference external" href="https://www.python.org/downloads/">https://www.python.org/downloads/</a></p>
<p>You want the installer for Python 2.7.8 – probably 64 bit, though if you have a 32 bit sytem, you can get that. There is essentially no difference for the purposes of this course.</p>
<p>Double click and install.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="terminal">
<h3>Terminal<a class="headerlink" href="#terminal" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>You can use the “DOS Box” as a terminal, though the newer “powershell” is a better option.</p>
<p>But to use the Python in the terminal efectively, you need to put a couple paths on your “PATH” environment variable:</p>
<p><a class="reference external" href="http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm">http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm</a></p>
<p>You want to add:</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">C:\Python2.7</span></tt></p>
<p>and</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">C:\Python2.7\Scripts</span></tt></p>
<p>to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PATH</span></tt></p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="git">
<h3>git<a class="headerlink" href="#git" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Get a git client – the gitHub GUI client may be nice – I honestly don’t know.</p>
<p>There is also TortoiseGit:</p>
<p><a class="reference external" href="https://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/">https://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/</a></p>
<p>which integrates git with the filemanager. But for the purposes of learning, it may be better to use a command line client:</p>
<p><a class="reference external" href="http://git-scm.com/download/win">http://git-scm.com/download/win</a></p>
<p>I think that gives you a “Git bash shell” – a command window that gives you a *nix - like command line shell.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="pip">
<h3>pip<a class="headerlink" href="#pip" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pip</span></tt> is the Python package installer. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come out of the box with Python2.7, so you need to install it:</p>
<p><a class="reference external" href="https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html">https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html</a></p>
<p>download <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">get-pip.py</span></tt> from that site, and run it with python:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>$ python get-pip.py
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>It should download and install <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pip</span></tt> (and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">setuptools</span></tt>)</p>
<p>You can now use pip to install other packages.</p>
