Install conda/python on Ubuntu

instruction.md

These commands should be entered in the terminal. Open it with Ctrl + Alt + T

1. Download installer:

curl -o miniconda.sh https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

2. Install

bash ./miniconda.sh

Make sure to follow installer and select yes when it asks you to add a path prefix/modify shell init or whatever.

3. Open and close terminal again. Check that everything works by typing

conda info

4. Remove installer file

rm miniconda.sh

5. Create an environment and install jupyter lab and pandas

conda create -n pyenv python=3.8 jupyterlab pandas -c conda-forge

6. Activate the environment (this you do in the future whenever you open the terminal and need to use python)

conda activate pyenv

7. Open Jupyter lab

jupyter lab

8. In Jupyter Lab, try some python stuff. For example

print(f"What is 3*5? A: {3*5}")

9. Done. From here on try (in this order): basic python tutorial, numpy tutorial and pandas tutorial
