Programming with Python: Setup

You need to download some files to follow this lesson:

1. Make a new folder in your Desktop called python-novice-climate.
2. Download climate_data.zip and move the file to this folder.
3. If it’s not unzipped yet, double-click on it to unzip it. You should end up with a few CSV files with 3-letter country names.
4. You can access this folder from the Unix shell with:

$ cd
$ cd Desktop/python-novice-climate/

If you will be using the Jupyter (IPython) notebook for the lesson, you should have already installed Anaconda which includes the notebook.

To start the notebook, open a terminal or git bash and type the command:

$ jupyter notebook

To start the Python interpreter without the notebook, open a terminal or git bash and type the command:

$ python
