7This README describes the required steps to install the necessary python distribution and packages.
8This is only an example. The necessary python libraries (numpy, matplotlib, etc...) can also be installed one by one.

10----------------
11Step 1/- GET EPD
12----------------
13
14"The Enthought Python Distribution (EPD) provides scientists with a comprehensive set of tools to perform rigorous data analysis and visualization."
15EPD includes a distribution of Python and a set of libraries for plots and data analysis. It is free for academics.
16
17e.g. different versions are available.
1864 bit version for linux: epd-7.1-2-rh5-x86_64.sh (recommended)
1932 bit version for linux is also available if the above fails: epd-7.1-2-rh5-x86.sh
2064 bit version for MacOSX has also been successfully tested: epd-7.1-2-macosx-x86_64.dmg
21
22--------------------
23Step 2/- INSTALL EPD
24--------------------
25
26Simply put the .sh file you downloaded where you want to install python and run "bash epd-7.1-2-rh5-x86_64.sh" (or whatever version you got from the website)
27
28-------------------------
29Step 3/- SET ENVIRONNMENT
30-------------------------
31
32You must put the path to the /bin of EPD in your $PATH. For exemple, if EPD is installed in:
33/u/bwhitelmd/san0/Python/64bits/epd-7.1-2-rh5-x86_64/
34
35Then you must add to your $PATH in your .env_pers.ksh:
36export PATH=/u/bwhitelmd/san0/Python/64bits/epd-7.1-2-rh5-x86_64/bin:$PATH
37
38Note that a version of python was probably already installed on your machine, in /usr/bin/. Make sure that "which python" gets you the correct path to EPD python after you sourced your .env_pers.ksh.

46If you work on LMD or IPSL computers, you don't necessarily need to install EPD.
