Practice 3 - Environment Setup

Environment Setup

My focus this week was getting an environment setup on my computer so I could start doing some real work in Python. Here is what I accomplished:

1) Installed Anaconda
2) Setup environments for Python 2 and Python 3
3) Added Pandas, SciPy, NumPy, and updated everything in my environments to the latest version
4) Created a Jupyter notebook to use for my Udacity course
5) Imported an environment from Udacity to use for their course
6) Downloaded data files from Udacity

Most of that work had to be done using the Anaconda command line. I haven't worked at the command line before so the process was arduous but educational. Some of the commands I entered included:

conda upgrade conda
conda upgrade --all

conda install numpy scipy pandas

conda create -n py3 python=3
conda create -n py2 python=2
activate py2
deactivate

conda env create -f environment.yaml

conda install jupyter notebook

Here is a screenshot of the contents of my Udacity files:
