1
00:00:00,630 --> 00:00:05,030
In this video, we'll go over quickly how to set up Python for the course.

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,210
So obviously in this course we are going to be using Python.

3
00:00:09,210 --> 00:00:12,180
So a basic working set up, a python is assumed.

4
00:00:12,990 --> 00:00:14,530
We're going to be using Python three.

5
00:00:14,550 --> 00:00:20,500
We're going to be using the Python package as well as the plot and that Python package.

6
00:00:21,210 --> 00:00:22,170
Now, there's two options.

7
00:00:22,170 --> 00:00:24,360
You can do a desktop install.

8
00:00:24,870 --> 00:00:26,430
So it's very simple to install.

9
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:28,100
You can go to this link here.

10
00:00:28,110 --> 00:00:30,830
The Python dot org is a great website.

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:36,210
You can go to downloads, you can find your platform, your operating system there, and you can install

12
00:00:36,210 --> 00:00:36,760
it for that.

13
00:00:36,790 --> 00:00:42,600
So if you're using windows, you can click on Windows, you can download the appropriate files for Python

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:42,960
three.

15
00:00:44,250 --> 00:00:49,240
I have a great getting started guide, so if you don't know much about Python, you can click on this

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,070
link here and start with a beginner's guide.

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:58,300
Yeah, completely new to programming, and you have all these different resources or interactive courses,

18
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:03,700
tutorials, websites, videos, everything you possibly need to learn how to use Python.

19
00:01:06,820 --> 00:01:15,880
The second option is to use a web idy, so this link here brings up a Web idea which makes it very easy

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,930
to get started all you need an Internet connection and the link and load up python environment inside

21
00:01:22,930 --> 00:01:23,530
the server.

22
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,870
So basically he had a different python file you can create.

23
00:01:28,090 --> 00:01:31,180
He is the editor and he is the console.

24
00:01:31,210 --> 00:01:37,140
So you can pretty much well, you actually can just start writing code directly in the Web browser.

25
00:01:37,150 --> 00:01:40,210
So let's do the typical Hello Wellwood example.

26
00:01:41,020 --> 00:01:46,810
Can the there you can click this button up here to run it and then the results are shown in the console

27
00:01:46,810 --> 00:01:56,890
here and you can even import different packages so we can import non-pay as ENPI and then yeah let's

28
00:01:56,890 --> 00:01:58,990
create a vector so we can find a vector.

29
00:02:00,860 --> 00:02:04,280
So, Ray, let's go one to three.

30
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:08,600
And let's print that out, say, print.

31
00:02:13,970 --> 00:02:14,720
And run that.

32
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:23,580
So we've defined a vector, which is an emperor, and then we can print it out and you can see it up

33
00:02:23,580 --> 00:02:24,090
over there.

34
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,390
So a very basic level of Python programming knowledge is assumed for this course.

35
00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:37,540
So a very basic you don't need to know all the advanced features.

36
00:02:37,540 --> 00:02:40,060
You just need to know the basic syntax and operations.

37
00:02:40,810 --> 00:02:45,940
And if you don't know, this is some great free tutorials and resources on the Web if you want to learn

38
00:02:45,940 --> 00:02:47,290
Python and how to get started.

39
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,650
So obviously, back on the main Python page, that's great.

40
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:57,390
And I've listed a few other Python sort of tutorials and other resources here that you can use.

41
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,710
So obviously YouTube, there's so many different Python courses on YouTube is a great resource.

42
00:03:03,130 --> 00:03:05,910
Codecademy Learn Python the org.

43
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:09,400
So there's many different places you can go for Python information.

44
00:03:10,570 --> 00:03:16,510
So any time and of course you're struggling, I can just check out these links and work out what's going

45
00:03:16,510 --> 00:03:16,750
on.
