Installing and using iPython

new

[4.Feb.2016]: iPython is now jupyter: http://ipython.org/


Btw. after starting I got an UTF-8 error when calling pandas, i.e.

jupyter ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8

The key was here to enter in the console the following lines:

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

old

  • for installing iPython see here: http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/2/install/install.html
  • start iPython notebook, run in a normal terminal
    ipython notebook --pylab inline
  • for the command line version on Ubuntu go to the menu and start development>ipython
  • run the code with <shift+enter>
  • updating pandas (I had 0.7 installed but needed 0.9 for doing some str ops) simply type sudo pip install --upgrade pandas
