- ) Install “pip” using these instructions https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html If you have newer versions of Python installed you will not need to follow that guide.
a.) Note that Windows users will need to open a command line, by pressing the windows logo key and the “r” key at the same time, then a run prompt will appear in the bottom left portion of your screen. Type in “cmd” (without quotes) in the run prompt that appears and press enter. Now you have a command line in which to run “python get-pip.py”.
You may first need to navigate to the directory where you saved get-pip.py. You can do this by typing in “cd c:\directory\to\downloads\” You will need to replace c:\directory\to\downloads with the directory in which you saved the get-pip file.
b.) For OS X users you will need to do something similar. To open a terminal press the command key + the space bar at the same time. In the prompt that appears type in “terminal” and press enter. From this terminal you can navigate to where you saved get-pip.py by typing in something like “cd /Users/bob/Downloads” and then you can run the command “python get-pip.py”
c.) An alternative to all of these methods is to open the get-pip.py file in IDLE and running it there. I haven’t tested that method however and it may or may not work, but it probably should. - ) Using pip install Pandas and Seaborn. Similar to steps 1a and 1b above(depending on your system) open a command line/terminal. Inside this terminal simply run the command “pip install pandas” and wait for it to finish, then run the command “pip install seaborn” and wait for it to finish. Now you should have both of the libraries needed for our visualization lecture!
