install

Install software on your computer

Install git.

You have it installed if you can run git --version at the command line and get output like git version 2.13.5.

Macbooks have git pre-installed.

Install Anaconda.

Please install the 3.6 version if possible.

There are two things you can verify to check your install.

First, from the command line, all of the following should start up some kind of Python interpreter:

python3
ipython3
jupyter notebook
spyder

Second, inside any of those Python interpreters, you should be able to do all of these without error:

import numpy
import scipy
import matplotlib
import pandas
import statsmodels
import sklearn

Install Homebrew on Mac
