TRANSCRIPT

We'll simply search for download Anaconda and we'll want to select this first link here, this is conda.io. So what we wanna do is download Anaconda here, so we'll click on this link and this brings us to the Anaconda website. So there's a couple of options to choose from depending on whether you're using Mac, Windows, or Linux. So, we'll just simply click on this link unless you really want Python 2.7. I would actually recommend that you use Python 3.6 anyway. So, we're gonna go ahead and download this. By the way, if you are using a PC, then actually feel free to skip to the next section. We'll be showing you the same stuff for PC. Alright, so it looks like that's finished downloading. We'll simply double click on this and it should bring up an installation wizard. So let's go and bring up the installer. So, we'll just go ahead and continue. Alright, so it just took a few minutes and it's done now. We're not gonna bother installing Microsoft Visual Studio Code or anything like that so let's not worry, we'll just continue and go ahead and close this, we can simply move that installer to trash. Okay, so now what we'll want to do is just go into our applications and you should see Anaconda-Navigator. So, we are going to select this guy here. There's a few options to choose from, but we'll definitely want Jupyter notebook here. This is version 5.5.0 at this time. So let's go ahead and actually just launch this. What this'll do is start a new instance of terminal, and actually, weirdly enough, we can go to the terminal itself and just type Jupyter notebook and we'll start notebook that way but we might as well use Anaconda. It's a nice of piece of software to use anyway. So as you can see here, this actually brings up a list of a bunch of my files and directories. So what we're gonna do is actually go to Desktop here. This is just my file system on my computer and we're just gonna go into Jupyter Notebooks. So from here, I can simply select a new notebook. I'm going to go for Python 3. Otherwise, you could do like Text File, Folder, Terminal. What we'll actually want is a Python 3 notebook. This now opens up a new Jupyter notebook and a new tab here, and if we navigate back here, you can see that there is a new notebook IPYNB. This is a Jupyter notebook here. Now, we haven't given it a name. This is running right now so we can go ahead and give this a name if we want up here. And then, we will just write a code in these little cells. So these cells can contain text or code which have we choose. We can choose Code, Markdown, NBConvert, or Heading. Typically, we'll just go with Markdown for regular text and we'll just write but we'll choose the Code one f ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4k38RIUKvo
