2012-11-14T00:01:21+0000	Andrew Su	Hi @JanelLee let us know if you have any questions...
2012-11-14T00:57:02+0000	Janel Lee	Hi! I do have a question... Which Mac or Windows OS would be easier to work with for Boot Camp?
2012-11-14T01:04:03+0000	Salvatore Loguercio	Hi Janel, Mac should be easier..
2012-11-14T01:06:01+0000	Salvatore Loguercio	the specific OS version it's not important
2012-11-14T01:08:10+0000	Janel Lee	Okay.. I'm still getting used to working on a Mac. :)
2012-11-14T01:11:18+0000	Salvatore Loguercio	No problem :)
2012-11-14T01:18:11+0000	Andrew Su	@JanelLee, I have yet to play around with virtuabox, but note that once you do install it and load the large "virtual machine" file mentioned in the instructions, the experience should be pretty much the same via mac or windows. So either one should be just fine...
2012-11-14T17:00:34+0000	Ruth Huey	Is there a simple way to check whether I have installed Anaconda CE successfully?
2012-11-14T17:01:37+0000	Andrew Su	Hi Ruth, good question... Let me check...
2012-11-14T17:07:26+0000	Andrew Su	Ruth, if you kept all the defaults during the installation, it's most likely true that everything installed correctly. You can confirm that python is working by going to c:\anaconda\python directory (or similar) and double clicking the "python.exe" file. you should get a window that looks like one shown above.
2012-11-14T17:10:39+0000	Ruth Huey	I'm working on mac os
2012-11-14T17:11:28+0000	Andrew Su	do you know what folder you installed into?
2012-11-14T17:13:58+0000	Benjamin Good	I'm testing the default install now.. awaiting download
2012-11-14T17:15:28+0000	Ruth Huey	AHA! found it:python2.7:
2012-11-14T17:17:32+0000	Benjamin Good	@RuthHuey did you do this >bash AnacondaCE-1.1-macosx.sh
2012-11-14T17:17:34+0000	Benjamin Good	?
2012-11-14T17:17:56+0000	Ruth Huey	yes
2012-11-14T17:18:46+0000	Benjamin Good	depending on where you started that from, you should be able to do something like this:
2012-11-14T17:18:46+0000	Benjamin Good	/Users/bgood/anaconda/bin/anaconda-launcher
2012-11-14T17:19:09+0000	Benjamin Good	replace /Users/bgood/anaconda with the path that matches your system
2012-11-14T17:19:41+0000	Benjamin Good	executing that in the terminal should launch anaconda in your web browser
2012-11-14T17:20:38+0000	Benjamin Good	If you are having trouble finding it, you can use the Spotlight search box, and look for anaconda-launcher
2012-11-14T17:21:13+0000	Benjamin Good	double clicking on that should also launch it.
2012-11-14T17:23:58+0000	Ruth Huey	alas, that raised this error: socket.error: [ Errno 48 ] Address already in use: ('', 5001)....[my web browser is Firefox]
2012-11-14T17:24:24+0000	Benjamin Good	Hmm..
2012-11-14T17:24:58+0000	Benjamin Good	Maybe try quitting firefox and trying the command again - it should start up on its own.
2012-11-14T17:25:54+0000	Benjamin Good	It might already be open though..
2012-11-14T17:26:24+0000	Benjamin Good	It should show up in a web browser at this url
2012-11-14T17:26:25+0000	Benjamin Good	http://localhost:5001/launcher
2012-11-14T17:28:22+0000	Ruth Huey	yes that link works!
2012-11-14T17:29:00+0000	Andrew Su	Great! Then the two of you are already ahead of me... ;) Thanks Ben...
2012-11-14T17:29:05+0000	Benjamin Good	Then you have anaconda installed! ;)
2012-11-14T17:29:13+0000	Benjamin Good	(dance)
2012-11-14T17:29:27+0000	Ruth Huey	:)
2012-11-14T17:30:09+0000	Ruth Huey	Looking forward to the next two days. Many thanks!
2012-11-14T18:45:45+0000	Janel Lee	On Windows, to set up Git, do we want to set up the PATH so that we can run it from the Windows Command Prompt or Use Git Bash only? (I had trouble downloading Anaconda on a Mac, so I'm trying Windows)
2012-11-14T18:49:02+0000	Andrew Su	Hi Janel,
2012-11-14T18:49:31+0000	Andrew Su	my guess is that the default settings will be just fine -- if not, I'm pretty sure we can adjust them just by rerunning the installer later...
2012-11-14T18:50:16+0000	Janel Lee	@AndrewSu Alrighty, thanks! :)
