GISC 425 T1 2020

General instructions for the Labs

We will be using some different things as the course progresses. Follow the relevant instructions below.

Week 1

  • Open the Anaconda Prompt.

  • Navigate to a folder where you plan to save work. First you may need to change disk, by typing D: or H: or whatever. Then you need to type cd <path-to-folder>.

  • Then, at the prompt, enable the GISC 425 environment with

    conda activate g425

    The prompt should change to the prefix (g425).

  • Then run IDLE by typing

    idle

  • In IDLE start typing python commands per the instructions.

Weeks 2 to 6

Each week, you should download the associated week-n.zip file, linked from the timetable on the course main page and extract it to a folder on your computer. In Windows be particularly careful to right-click and extract the files to an actual folder as many version of Windows let you look inside zip archives without actually extracting the files.

Once you have extracted the files, then follow the instructions below as required.

On Windows

  • Open the Anaconda Prompt.

  • Navigate to the folder where you extracted the files. First you may need to change disk, by typing D: or H: or whatever. Then you need to type cd <path-to-your-files> where path-to-your-files is the directory you extracted the files.

  • Then, at the prompt, enable the GISC 425 environment with

    conda activate g425

    The prompt should change to the prefix (g425).

  • Then run Jupyter notebook by typing

    jupyter notebook

    From there, things should be reasonably straightforward.

On MacOS or Linux

Here it is assumed you have followed instructions on this page to set up for the course.

  • Open a console.

  • Navigate to where you extracted the lab files.

  • Start the GISC 425 environment within

    conda activate g425

  • Run Jupyter notebook by typing

    jupyter notebook

Even more subsequent weeks

We will look at working in an Integrated Development Environment after the semester break.
