Hack Week, IDE, 2022 |
This document describes the basics needed for HackWeek2022 of The Scientific Python Development Environment (Spyder)
Visit the Spyder download page. Their server should detect if you're on a Mac, Windows PC, or Linux system and serve you up the appropriate download link.
The Spyder folks (Spyders?) have a full workup on installation along with a troubleshooting guide, so please visit their installation page and choose the install method that you're comfortable with. They even have a section where you can take Spyder for a test drive without installing it.
For the Spyder IDE, we recommend starting with git from the command line. The concepts behind git and GitHub will be discussed extensively during on Tuesday of the HackWeek.
Once you understand the basic concepts of git from the command line, there exists some functionality for using a graphical interface (gitk) for integrating the use of Spyder with Github.
From the Spyder website: "The Project pane has basic integration with the Git distributed version control system, just like in the Files pane. You can commit or browse a file, directory or the entire repository via the commands in the context menu.
To use this functionality, the Project must be located in a git repository and the git and gitk commands must be on the system path."
