Installation instructions for PyCon Asia Pacific 2012 Singapore

[Roy Hyunjin Han]

Dear Big Data Analysis Workshop Participants,

To setup a scientific computing environment on Fedora 16, add yourself to /etc/sudoers, make sure you are not behind a restrictive firewall and run the following commands:

    wget https://github.com/invisibleroads/crosscompute-scripts/zipball/master -O crosscompute-scripts.zip
    unzip -jd crosscompute-scripts crosscompute-scripts.zip
    cd crosscompute-scripts
    bash fabfile.sh

Users of other Linux distributions should be able to run the scripts with a few modifications.

Users of Windows or Mac OS have four options:
- Access the IPython notebooks on a shared server, whose IP address will be provided at the workshops.
- Purchase a 4gb live usb flash drive with Fedora 16 and necessary packages at the workshops.
- Install an Enthought Python Distribution.
- Try to install the packages manually.
