Docker is the preferred method to obtain the most up-to-date
version of flotilla. Every change we make to the source code triggers a new build of a virtual
machine that contains flotilla and all its dependencies.
Please follow instructions here to get, install, and run the flotilla image.
The following steps have been tested on a clean install of Mavericks 10.9.4.
All others must fend for themselves to install matplotlib, scipy and their third-party dependencies.
This part only needs to be done once
-
Open Xcode and agree to terms and services (it is very important to read them thoroughly)
-
Install homebrew
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)" -
Install freetype:
brew install freetype -
Install heavy packages (this can take an hour or more)
conda install pip numpy scipy cython matplotlib nose six scikit-learn ipython networkx pandas tornado statsmodels setuptools pytest pyzmq jinja2 pyyaml`
- Create a virtual environment
conda create -n flotilla_env pip numpy scipy cython matplotlib nose six scikit-learn ipython networkx pandas tornado statsmodels setuptools pytest pyzmq jinja2 pyyaml`
-
Switch to virtual environment
source activate flotilla_env -
Install flotilla and its dependencies (this can take a few minutes):
pip install git+https://github.com/YeoLab/flotilla.git -
Create a scratch space for your work
mkdir ~/flotilla_scratch -
Make a place to store flotilla projects
mkdir ~/flotilla_projects -
Go back to the real world
source deactivate -
switch to virtual environment
source activate flotilla_env -
start an ipython notebook:
ipython notebook --notebook-dir=~/flotilla_scratch -
create a new notebook by clicking
New Notebook -
rename your notebook from "Untitled" to something more informative by clicking the title panel.
