CS 294: Setup/Installation Guide for Homework

Python / NumPy

The homeworks will require Python, NumPy, and the IPython notebook. All of these requirements are available through the Anaconda Python Distribution. If you prefer not to use this distribution, you can install them by installing pip and running the command pip install numpy jupyter (may need to use sudo).

IPython

The IPython notebook software has recently become part of the Jupyter project after releasing version 4.0, so you may find outdated information online. Here’s a recent guide.

To open a IPython notebook file (extension .ipynb), navigate to the folder where the file resides and type ipython notebook.
