Installing Python

In order to be able to use the Vibration Testing module you need a working scientific python installation.

The easiest path to this is to install Python via Anaconda. You must install Python 3.5 or later for the Vibration Testing module to work. Do note install Python 2.7.

This proceeds as a normal install on your platform (Mac, Windows, Linux…).

Subsequently you must update some components of Anaconda by using the conda command from the Anaconda Command Prompt. On Windows, this runs as an actual program.

To ensure the conda package list is as up to date as possible:

conda update conda

Then update everything else with:

conda update --all

Then,

conda install jupyter

To use Jupyter (the notebook), launch a terminal on Mac or Linux, or the Anaconda Terminal on Windows (or similar name) and type:

jupyter notebook

It’s all in the GUI from here. You just need to play around a bit.
