Please post questions to the class discussion board.

The easiest way to use the course simulation software is via the pre-configured Virtual Machine (VM) that we provide. You need 3 things:

Download the free Virtual Box VM software, version 4.2.18 here

Download the Ubuntu image, with Python and necessary libraries here
This will use 8GB of disk space. From Virtualbox, do File->Import, and choose the Ubuntu image above. Username is user, password is password. The VM has python, numpy, ipython, gcc/g++ and vim/emacs/sublime text.

To test code,
cd ~/lga
python lga_ui.py

Repo on bitbucket Updated 10/10

Instructions to get the code using git

First time cloning (i.e. get a brand new copy):

  $ cd ~
  $ git clone git@bitbucket.org/lga.git lga_git # creates a directory lga_git

Then to update code and keep it in sync with the latest version:

  $ cd ~/lga_git
  $ git pull

This assumes you haven't modified any of the files we provided (e.g. lga_sim.py). If you have, then git will complain. So, it's safe to do this if you are only creating new experiment files/classes.

If you do want to modify the course files, you can

• Ask us how to do it the "git" way

• Keep the lga_git directory pristine and put your changed code in another directory, handling merges of new course code manually

• Forgo git and download zip files from bitbucket to get the most recent versions.
