Hello all. I stumbled upon this site trying to get help. I'm a total newb to using Unix and I'm real eager and excited to learn it. So I'm in a computing class and to do the homework I need to install some software: scipy, numpy, python, ipython, matplotlib/pylab, mercurial, gfortran, openMP, open MPI, LApack, and Sphinx. A ton of stuff. So I'm totally new to all of this and I guess all of the installation instructions are geared more to those with Linux.
So for now I just need to worry about python, ipython, numpy, scipy, gfortran, and matplotlib/pylab(are these the same or different things?). So I know Mac os comes with pythong 2.6, so I skipped that and I was able to find an installer for fortran. Then I started trying to download each of the remaining deals using the command
sudo easy_install PACKAGE
and for package went down the list of: IPython[kernel,security],numpy,
scipy, and matplotlib.
So when I did this all sorts of crazy went through the command window and
I had no clue what it meant. So I went into ipython( which I really
have no idea what is the difference between python and ipython. Are
they the same thing or two different programs?) and I tried to import
numpy, scipy,matplotlib and pylab and this is what I get:
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jun 24 2010, 21:47:49)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IPython 0.10.1 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
? -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref -> Quick reference.
help -> Python's own help system.
object? -> Details about 'object'. ?object also works, ?? prints more.
