Running Python in Python Crash Course
For the crash course, the software will run on a pre-installed operating system (Linux CentOS 6.6) working inside a virtual machine platform (VirtualBox). Participants should download and install the virtual machine on their own laptops before the school starts. There is no technical support nor trouble shooting during the school as it will be extremely disruptive for the lecturer and other participants. It is strongly recommended that the installations of the most updated version should be done before the school for better learning experiences. Any installation issues before the school starts (July 6) should be directed to
