Set up your python environment

Recommended setup

To get Python running on your systems I recommend to install the following packages on your portable computer (by the way: this works also on the stationary computers in our institute without root access):

1. The Python platform Anaconda (make sure to select the version with Python 3.x, not 2.x). Available for MacOS, Linux and Windows.

2. The PyCharm IDE: choose the free community edition

3. Get your eduroam WLAN working so that you will have internet access during class. On top you will have free internet access in most universities on the planet ….
