Note: this is only a subset of the official IPython in-depth tutorial, where I've trimmed out a lot of the content for our purposes. For further study, you should grab that one instead and continue from there.
In its current form, this tutorial is meant to be executed with IPython 2.0 or newer. You can find our installation instructions here.
If you prefer using pip, you can also run:
pip install --upgrade ipython[notebook]
which should give you all the necessary dependencies.
To get the tutorial, checkout the ipython-in-depth repo:
git clone https://github.com/ipython/ipython-in-depth
Or just download current master and unzip it.
At the command line, you can do this with (depending on whether your system uses wget or curl):
wget https://github.com/ipython/ipython-in-depth/zipball/master -O ipython-in-depth.zip
or
curl -L https://github.com/ipython/ipython-in-depth/zipball/master -o ipython-in-depth.zip
And then:
unzip ipython-in-depth.zip
You can then start the IPython notebook server at a terminal with:
ipython notebook
