Mod:Hunt Research Group/CubePy setup

getting started

Install the 3.5 Python version ofCanopy
Open the Canopy terminal: Canopy → (Tab menu) Tools → Canopy Terminal

This is like the regular terminal window, but instead of using your default Python version, it uses the one from Canopy which has all the necessary modules to run CubePy. We will use the Canopy terminal to run CubePy.

copy and paste the following python code into a file called test_python.py

print("\nAll modules imported successfully.\n")

run the code by typing python test_python.py
if might not work the first time around, you might get an error like the following

(User)[tricia@ch-pepper]/Users/tricia/Work/Jobs/oxana $ python test_python.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/tricia/Library/Enthought/Canopy/edm/envs/User/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pyface/qt/__init__.py", line 29, in <module>
    import PySide
ImportError: No module named 'PySide'

so if you get any errors regarding PySide/PyQt4, you can try the following:

Open the Canopy Package Manager

Go to the "Available" packages tab

Type "pyqt" in the search bar at the top of the window.

Select the pyqt package, and click "Install"

you should then get something like this

(User)[tricia@ch-pepper]/Users/tricia/Work/Jobs/oxana $ python test_python.py
All modules imported successfully.

now go back to the main page and download CubePy
