The assignments are handed in electronically on github. For that you have to do perform some steps that will be announced in the first lecture.
Software installation
Installation on your local machine
This course requires a Bash and Python 3.7 or higher. For Python, we recommend the anaconda distribution. Bash is pre-installed on Linux and Mac systems, and is available on Windows systems either by installing the Windows Subsystem for Linux (recommended), or Cygwin.
Installation on IFI machines
Bash is already installed on the ifi machines. To install Python 3 follow these steps:
- wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2020.07-Linux-x86_64.sh
- bash Anaconda3-2020.07-Linux-x86_64.sh
Note: leave the default settings - echo "alias anaconda=\"export PATH=\"$HOME/anaconda3/bin:\$PATH\"\"" >> ~/.bashrc
- echo "alias anaconda=\"export PATH=\"$HOME/anaconda3/bin:\$PATH\"\"" >> ~/.bash_profile # For ssh access
- Log out and in again
When installed correctly, you can type `anaconda` into the bash shell to switch to the Python 3 environment required for this course. When you now run `python`, you should be welcome by a message like:
Note: When you log out again, you will reset your environment. This means that you have to type `anaconda` everyone time log into a new terminal.
