help Having troubles starting development

[summ...@mymacewan.ca]

 I am new to open source projects and haven't done one before. It seems quite scary at the moment. Have looked at dozens and this one seems less scary to get into. With how the issue page has beginner issues listed.

To the point. I have a windows operating system and a linux virtual machine. Both of which I am struggling to find a way to get the program to work so I can start developing and testing.

currently this is the page I am using http://docs.sympy.org/dev/install.html . Which nothing from their has worked or  enabled me to get the project to work.

lines from the link that dont work on my VC(lunix) so far are.

setupegg.py develop
conda install mpmath

$ python
>>> from sympy import * // this would be the code that would work if everything was going smooth I'd assume.

If someone could give me a step by step instructions (preferably windows, but linux works too). Thank you.

I recommend installing Anaconda https://www.continuum.io/downloads. Once you install Anaconda you will have sympy and many other packages installed.

Then to develop on SymPy, simply clone the git repo and navigate to that directory. Modify the code in that directory and then you can run the tests, etc there to see if your changes work or not.

If you want to run sympy from the git version then follow these step:

1.git clone git://github.com/sympy/sympy.git

2.cd sympy 

3.from the terminal run this = bin/isympy

Hope this will help.
