Python Setup

You can install jupyter-notebooks and the necessary python packages either using Anaconda (https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual) or on a Linux-based operating system in the following way using virtual environments:

1. Make sure you are using python3, which is the default since python2 is not supported any more.
2. Install virtualenv (if not already installed) via "sudo -H pip install virtualenv"
3. Go to the directory of your choice and create a virtual environment via "virtualenv .mllab"
4. Once created you should activate the environment by running "source .mllab/bin/activate"
5. Then, to install the necessary packages for python use the requirements.txt file and then run "pip install -r requirements.txt"
6. Finally, you can run and edit your jupyter-notebooks via "jupyter-notebook NameOfYourNotebook.ipynb"

You can learn some more about python and numpy using the provided two notebooks
