ObsPy and Instaseis Tutorials for the CIG/LLNL Workshop in Computational Seismology

Installation

You basically need a version of Python (best 3.5 or 3.6), ObsPy (http://obspy.org), the Jupyter notebooks (http://jupyter.org/), and Instaseis (http://instaseis.net).

We strongly recommend you install via conda. Follow these instructions here to install conda as well as ObsPy: https://github.com/obspy/obspy/wiki/Installation-via-Anaconda

Once this is installed, you can install the Jupyter notebooks and Instaseis with:

$ conda install -c conda-forge instaseis jupyter basemap-data-hires

Please note that we currently have no Windows packages for instaseis so please just install it as if you are running windows.

Alternatively you can also use a bundled conda installer that comes with ObsPy and the Jupyter notebook: https://github.com/obspy/obspy/wiki/Installation-via-ObsPy-bundled-Anaconda-installer

In that case Instaseis must also be installed:

$ conda install -c conda-forge instaseis

Running the Notebooks

Make sure the correct conda environment is active:

$ source activate NAME_OF_ENV

Then launch the notebooks from within the repository folder:

$ git clone https://github.com/krischer/cig_llnl_computational_seismology_workshop_obspy_instaseis.git
$ cd cig_llnl_computational_seismology_workshop_obspy_instaseis
$ juypter notebook

This should open your web browser and you can now navigate to open the notebook of your choice.

Updating the Repository

WARNING: This will delete any of your changes by first resetting the repository and then updating it. Do not do this if you still need any of it; otherwise make a backup first.
