Calico IPython

Currently, we are trying to get clrzmq to build on Mac OSX. Works on Linux. Unknown on Windows.

Requirements

1. ZeroMQ (clrzmq)
   1. sudo apt-get install libzmq1
2. jinja2, tornado, pyzmq
   1. Needs Python 2.7 or better
   2. python easy-install
3. IPython 1.1
   1. See below
4. MathJax, inside python:
   1. from IPython.external.mathjax import install_mathjax
   2. install_mathjax()

Virtual Box

1. installed virtual box from:
   1. http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.3.6/VirtualBox-4.3.6-91406-OSX.dmg
2. downloaded *32-bit* Ubuntu 12.04 LTS iso file from:
   1. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
3. set up a new Ubuntu VM using the iso file.
   1. see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_42JLz2izBU for more info.
4. so that we can go into fullscreen mode:
   1. apt-get install dkms build-essential
   2. In the VM, choose menu option Devices -> Insert Guest Additions CM Image...
   3. A new CDROM will appear on the Ubuntu desktop. Rightclick and choose the Autorun.
5. Also chose Devices -> Shared Clipboard -> Bidirectional
6. Restarted VM
7. to create shared folders between guest/host:
   1. see http://helpdeskgeek.com/virtualization/virtualbox-share-folder-host-guest/
   2. to change computer name, see: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/735

IPython

Setting up ipython on ubuntu 12.04 LTS (1/24/2014)

1. sudo apt-get install emacs git
2. sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
3. sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
4. sudo apt-get install python-dev
5. sudo apt-get install libzmq1 libzmq-dev
6. sudo easy_install ipython
7. sudo easy_install tornado
8. sudo easy_install jinja2
9. sudo easy_install pyzmq
   1. ipython> from IPython.external.mathjax import install_mathjax
   2. ipython> install_mathjax()

Older Linuxes will require getting a new IPython:

1. sudo easy_install tornado
2. sudo easy_install pyzmq
3. sudo easy_install jinja2
4. git clone --recursive https://github.com/ipython/ipython.git
5. cd ipython/
6. git branch -r
7. git checkout -b 1.x origin/1.x
8. git status
9. git branch
10. python setup.py build
11. sudo python setup.py install
