6.1. Preparation for using SuPy

This will take: ~30 mins

Prior to this activity

Note

It is very important you do the right thing at this point. Only do one of the following

  1. If you are a Windows user without a version of Python on you computer except for QGIS if so go here

  2. If you already have Jupyter Notebooks installed use that

  3. Otherwise follow these instructions

Activity

  • Installation of Jupyter Notebooks - follow the appropriate instructions for your operating system

  • If you already have Python3 and Jupyter Notebooks installed you do not need to do this.

  • If you are a Windows user, install the QGIS version OR you can go to Anaconda-based approach for General (all platforms).

Windows+QGIS: osgeo-based approach

  • With your already installed QGIS, go to the start menu in Windows, locate OSGeo4W Shell and open it. If you automatically do not have administrative rights you need to right-click on OSGeo4W Shell, Open file Location, Right-click on OSGeo4W Shell again and choose Run as Administrator; type the following two commands:

py3_env
pip install notebook

  • To start Jupyter Notebook type:

jupyter notebook

(or) General OS installation (all platforms): Anaconda-based approach

  • Download Anaconda3:

  • Install Anaconda3 (Jupyter Notebook included):

Note

If you use Anaconda for Python, it is better to choose conda-forge channel for package installation to have better compatibility with various scientific libraries.
