Scientific Programming with Python June 24 - 28, 2019 UZH Campus Irchel |
We will provide preconfigured laptops for the exercise classes. You are free to use your own systems, we will however not be able to provide support in case of problems during the school.
We provide a VirtualBox image, for those who want to use the same system as installed on the laptops on their own computer. To run the image, you will need to install the VirtualBox hypervisor. There is a version for Linux, Macintosh, Solaris and Windows.
After installing VirtualBox you can download the Python-school appliance. (3.1 GB file!)
In VirtualBox there is a wizard to import existing appliances:
File -> Import Appliance.
Depending on your host computer you probably want to change some settings like RAM, number of cores, etc. Do this before you start the VM.
Please note that this image is intended for the school only. We did not test it extensively and cannot guarantee that it will work reliable for productive work. Use it at your own risk!
