source "${HOME}/miniforge3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
conda activate
conda init $(basename $SHELL)

    Tip

    You can copy and paste code in the code blocks by hovering your mouse over the code block and pressing the icon () appearing in the top right corner.

Step 2: Install Python#

  1. Open a Terminal.

  2. Copy the following line of code into your terminal and press Enter:

    conda install python=3.12 dtumathtools pandas scipy statsmodels uncertainties -y

Step 3: Install Visual Studio Code#

  1. Go to this website.

  2. Click the download button and follow the instructions.

Step 4: Install extensions for Visual Studio Code#

  1. Open Visual Studio Code and select the Extensions extensions tab on the left.

Verification#

Verify that your installation is successful by following these steps:

  1. Open up a new terminal. Verify that (base) is shown to the left of your username. Something like the image below:

    ../../_images/conda-check-base.gif

  2. Type idle3 in the Terminal, then press Enter. This should open a new window in which you can run Python code.

  3. Verify the IDLE window says Python 3.12.X in the top left (or in the range of 3.10 – 3.12).

  4. Copy the following Python code into the IDLE window, then press Enter:

    import dtumathtools, pandas, scipy, statsmodels, uncertainties

    Verify that a new line (>>>) appears without any text (indicating everything got imported correctly). See the below image for an example:

If some steps result in a different than described above, please continue reading the Troubleshooting section.

Troubleshooting#

Only follow these troubleshooting steps if something in the previous section did not check out.

  • Ensure that Miniforge is installed, follow these instructions.

  • Ensure the packages are installed (if they are already installed, this will not do anything).

    Paste the following line of code to the Terminal and press Enter:

    conda install python=3.12 dtumathtools pandas scipy statsmodels uncertainties -y

  • Go back to the previous Verification section and check them again.
