Please click on the badge above to start an online version of the notebooks without installation requirements.

Installing and opening Jupyter Notebook using Anaconda on Windows

1. Download Anaconda for Windows from https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual-d. This may take a few minutes. Pay attention to the following:

   • Python version: select the latest Python version (>= 3.6).

   • CPU architecture (32-bit or 64-bit). You can check your CPU architecture by going to Configuration Panel > System and Security > System.

2. Install the version of Anaconda that you downloaded, following the instructions on the download page. If you already have a version of Python on your computer, untick the box stating “Register Anaconda as my default Python x.x”.

3. Congratulations, you have installed Anaconda and, with it, Jupyter Notebook. Now download the notebooks from this link, and unzip the notebooks to an arbitrary folder.

4. To start jupyter notebook, navigate to the folder in which you unzipped the notebooks, open a terminal window, and simply type jupyter notebook. Alternatively, you can also open the program Anaconda Navigator, select jupyter notebook, and navigate to the folder where the notebooks are stored. Click on the first notebook to get started.

Installing and opening Jupyter Notebook using Anaconda on Linux

1. Download Anaconda for Linux from https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual-d. This may take a few minutes. Pay attention to the following:

   • Python version: select the latest Python version (>= 3.6).

   • CPU architecture (32-bit or 64-bit). Open a terminal window and type uname -i. This will give as output Intel 80386 or i386 for a 32-bit system, and x86_64 for a 64-bit system. Do not download the Power8 variant.

2. Install the version of Anaconda that you downloaded by running: bash Anaconda3-4.4.0-Linux-x86_64.sh. (The filename may be different if you have downloaded a newer version.) Follow the instructions that appear on screen. When asked to updated .bashrc, type yes. When you're done, open a new terminal window for the new settings to take effect.

3. Congratulations, you have installed Anaconda and, with it, Jupyter Notebook. Now download the notebooks from this link, and unzip the notebooks to an arbitrary folder.

4. Run jupyter notebook, which should open a browser window. Navigate to the folder where the notebooks are stored. Click on the first notebook to get started.

Installing and opening Jupyter Notebook using Anaconda on macOS

1. Download Anaconda for macOS from https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual-d. This may take a few minutes. Pay attention to the following:

   • Python version: select the latest Python version (>= 3.6)

   • CPU architecture (32-bit or 64-bit). You can check your CPU architecture by going to System Profiler > Contents > Software. The line 64-bit Kernel and Extensions will say Yes if you are running the 64-bit kernel and No if you are running the 32-bit kernel. Note that System Profiler was renamed to System Information in OS X 10.7.

2. Install the version of Anaconda that you downloaded, following the instructions on the download page. If you already have a version of Python on your computer, untick the box stating “Register Anaconda as my default Python x.x”.
