Setting up Python for Jupyter notebooks development on a remote cluster

This gist will cover:

1. Setting up Python on your local machine using Anaconda
2. Running local Jupyter notebooks
3. Launching a Jupyter notebook on a remote computing cluster. This will allow you to take advantage of greater computational resources than you have available on your machine, while making beautiful visualizations through the web browser connection, even if your remote server is a headless system without X11 graphics support.
4. Using conda environments

Step 1: Install Anaconda
