For the tutorials, our teachers have asked that you install the following packages in advance of the workshop:

• Python 3
• numpy
• scipy
• scikit-learn
• astropy
• matplotlib
• jupyter and jupyter notebook
• ipython
• pillow
• ipywidgets
• tensorflow

If you're installing a new version of Python, we recommend using the Anaconda distribution - download the Python 3 version and install. Anaconda is a package manager that simplifies installing, updating, and maintaining packages. With Anaconda, you can install most of the required packages with the following command:

conda install numpy scipy scikit-learn astropy matplotlib jupyter notebook ipython ipywidgets pillow

To install tensorflow, follow the instructions for your operating system.
