These materials are written in Jupyter Notebook, which is based on Python. You should have a minimum knowledge of Python to manipulate it. Don't worry. You will be still see and run the code as it is. But you still need to set up the environment to do that.
We recommend you to use the Anaconda distribution to install python. Use this link to download a proper version for your OS.
This step is optional. You can download the repository from the webpage as a zip file. But, I strongly recommend you to learn about Git if you haven't used it yet. You can install Git from here. If you are not sure if you have git already installed or not, just try following command on your terminal:
git --version
Once you installed the git, open the terminal and go to any folder that you like to place the material in the terminal and type the following:
git clone https://github.com/kevinksyTRD/HeatTransferCourse.git
If you don't like a terminal, Github Desktop is an option. You can download it here.
In order to prevent any conflict with the packages that you already have installed and what will
work for these notebooks, creating the environment by importing the TMR4222ThermalSystem.yaml.
First, open an Anaconda prompt.
- Windows:
- Open Anaconda Prompt from the Start menu.
- Close all other open Anaconda programs, including Anaconda Navigator and Spyder.
- Mac:
- Open Terminal from Launchpad, or from the Applications folder (look inside the Utilities folder).
- Linux:
- Open a terminal window.
Then, run the following two commands:
conda update -y conda
and:
conda update -y anaconda
Open Anaconda Navigator and click the Environments tab in the left menu.
Then click Import and select the TMR4222ThermalSystem.yaml file.
Launch Anaconda Navigator. First select the environment that you have imported.
Now click Jupyter Lab launch button.
