Basic tutorial on how to use Jupyter notebooks for Astrophysics/Cosmology.

• Read the tutorial notebook on GitHub

• Step through the tutorial notebook at mybinder.org:

  • Note that anyone can rebuild the binder instance of the notebook - just go to http://mybinder.org/status/drphilmarshall/jupytertutorial and hit relaunch, or go to http://mybinder.org and re-enter the repo URL.

• Clone the repo and try it at home:

  • From the command line: git clone https://github.com/fjaviersanchez/JupyterTutorial.git
  • Then: cd JupyterTutorial ; jupyter notebook &
  • The notebook should open in a nearby browser window: click on TutorialJupyter.ipynb to launch the notebook.

You'll need to install all the packages listed in [requirements.txt](https://github.com/fjaviersanchez/JupyterTutorial/blob/master/requirements.txt):

pip install -r requirements.txt

These are:

seaborn
randomfield
bokeh
speclite
sklearn

All of which are very useful! -- The tutorial also depends on astropy but this is included in anaconda. Also, it is optional but encouraged to install healpy
