Optional: Emergency Installation

If you already have a Scientific Python distribution, but not Astropy, just do:

pip install astropy

If you have not previously installed a Scientific Python distribution, use the following instructions for an EMERGENCY scientific Python install :-)

  1. Go to the Anaconda CE Downloads page.
  2. Download the file for your platform

  3. On Linux or Mac, do:

    bash <downloaded_file>

and answer the questions with the default by just pressing <enter>. At the end of the install, you will get a message like:

export PATH=/Users/tom/anaconda/bin:$PATH

Follow these instructions, rehash or open a new terminal, and then test that if you type python, you get a prompt similar to:

Python 2.7.3 |AnacondaCE 1.3.1 (x86_64)| (default, Jan 10 2013, 12:10:41) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

with AnacondaCE in the first line.

On Windows, double click the .exe file to install.

  1. Install Astropy with:

    conda install astropy
