Welcome to the 2023 AstroPGH Python Boot Camp for summer undergraduate students and early PhD students new to Python. This 3 day program is designed to help you learn the basics of using Python for astrophysics and physics research.
Please install Python 3 before the Boot Camp. I recommend using the Anaconda package manager for Python 3.10 and then install the following packages in the terminal:
conda install numpy scipy astropy matplotlib jupyter ipython pandas
conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab- Open a new terminal.
- Type
ipythoninto the terminal to open an interactive python session (the prompt should sayIn [1]:). - Copy this code:
import numpy
import scipy
import matplotlib
import astropy
import pandas- Type into the iPython shell the word
paste, and press enter. - If no errors are raised, you're ready for bootcamp. You may close the terminal window.
If you are having difficulties with installation, please do not hesitate to reach out to Brett Andrews on Slack or via email.
