Notebook 01-Introduction

Delete the use of Anaconda software, it was too much of a hassle to use this program. Not to mention if you used the Anaconda program you could not access any of the data files on the notebook.

Hi Joe,
I am not sure I understand the last sentence; why no access to the data files?
Thanks.

Prof. de Almeida, When using Anaconda, we don't have access to the "data" files that you have linked to the repository. If I were to try and read a file from chen.3170 under the data, it would never allow me to access it so there was no way to see if your code was working properly. After that point I switched to just using the notebook on the BlackBoard homepage for this class and downloading my files each time I wanted to close the binder. Best regards, Joe Egitto

I think I understand the issue. To use Anaconda, you have to download the entire course notes repo on your machine and navigate to it using Anaconda. This has the side effect of having to update your local repository every time changes are made on the repo. This needs to be done by downloading it again using the Clone or download button on the home page of the repo. This is a bit of work. However, note that on the same button after you click on it, there is an option Open in desktop. This allows you to have a live copy of the repo on your desktop and you can navigate to it using Anaconda. Another option to have a live repo on your local machine is to use a git repository client such as Sourcetree. Hope this helps. I will try some of these options and make changes on the instructions of the course. Thanks.
