Tutorials for the Astropy package

Tutorials

This repository contains tutorials for the Astropy project (also on github).

Running Tutorials

To run the tutorials, you need ipython installed. If you have IPython 2.0, you can just start the notebook server in this directory:

ipython notebook --matplotlib=inline

But if you have an older version, you first need to cd into the appropriate subdirectory before starting that command.

The tutorials are initially empty of any output. You can run them by pressing "Run All" under the "Cell" menu in the ipython notebook.

Dependencies

To deploy the notebooks, you will need:

• IPython
• Astropy
• runipy
• pandoc

Note, all except pandoc can be pip installed. To install pandoc, follow the instructions here: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/installing.html.
