Local installation instructions

• If using the DPO computers:
  • It is strongly advisible to boot into Linux, as git will already be installed there.
  • You should use the "Anaconda terminal" not the usual terminal, as this will have a more recent version of Python.
  • If you are using Windows in the DPO:
    • You might have file path issues unless you work on the U: or Z: drives. To use cd in a command prompt to change drives, first type U: and then cd U:/path/to/sf2.
    • You might find you are unable to install things with pip, and that your plots don't show up correctly, due to an old version of Anaconda being used that you will not be able to update.
• Have a recent version of python + Jupyter installed. Check that python --version emits what you expect it to.
• git clone this repository (recommended). If you do not have git installed, you can download and extract the zip from the top of the github page; but this will make it harder for you to get updated versions.
• Open a command prompt in the folder you downloaded the code to, and run python -m pip install -e . --user --upgrade. This will install various dependencies, and a cued_sf2_lab python package containing a collection of helper functions.
  • If this fails, make sure to speak to a demonstrator rather than just continuing anyway; it likely means there is a bigger problem with your python system
• Open the notebooks (ipynb files) in the root of this repository.
  • Do not "upload" the notebooks into Jupyter, this will just make a copy and leave you with two different copies on your system!
