## SOFTWARE INSTALLATION SOLUTIONS
I can't import ipythonblocks...
- Open a bash shell terminal and type "sudo easy_install ipythonblocks" (without the quotation marks)
- If that doesn't work, cut and paste the text from the following page into a new file called ipythonblocks.py
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jiffyclub/ipythonblocks/master/ipythonblocks/ipythonblocks.py
Put the file in the same directory as you launched ipython from
- When you relaunch the IPython notepad, it should be available.
I'm having trouble installing the software...
- You might find the solution here: https://github.com/swcarpentry/bc/wiki/Configuration-Problems-and-Solutions
It is impossible for me to install the software on my machine...
- You can either create an account at SageMathCloud (https://cloud.sagemath.com/) or Wakari (https://wakari.io/) and work from there, or simply pair up with somebody who has a laptop.
I didn't install Anaconda as the default Python...
- Run "/usr/bin/anaconda/bin/python"
How do I change directory in the IPython notebook?
- The following command doesn't work: !cd
- Instead, try:
import os
os.chdir("/path/to/change/to")
Using git on a Mac and having problems?
- Try going to the app store and install xcode
- NEED TO FIND A BETTER SOLUTION FOR THIS
How do I call Notepad++ from the command line?
- First you need to create a path to the file you want to be able to execute. To do this, you first need to
update the file-path in Gitbash.
- Open the .bashrc file in your Bash home folder (~)
- Enter or update the path to the folder that the .exe resides in:
export PATH=$PATH:/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Notepad++:/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/JetBrains/PyCharm\ Community\ Edition\ 3.4.1/bin/:
- Place a semi-colon at the end of the path to then add more paths.
- You can even add the following code to your .bashrc to create a shortcut, so typing npp in Bash will now open
the notepad++.exe in the folder /Notepad++:
alias npp=notepad++
