using pyzo

[fonzali]

hi , last night I downloaded pyzo package on my ubuntu 14.04 system , I just do not know how to get it working . any help is appreciated

[vegaseat]

Did you install it?

http://www.pyzo.org/downloads.html#installation-instructions

After installation click on the pyzo icon to start up their nicely made IDE.

[vegaseat]

On Windows you have three ways to code ...
IEP.exe
ipython_notebook.exe
ipython_qtconsole.exe
all in the folder
C:\pyzo2014a

There is also
idle.exe
in folder
C:\pyzo2014a\Scripts

There should be Linux counterparts to this.

hi vegaseat , I got the windows part working , as for the linux , I downloaded the linux version and expanded it to a new folder and this is where I am stuck because I do not see any icons or folder for icons . the file I downloaded has .linux64.tar.gz at the end but it looks like it has windows binary files in it .anyway ,thanks for the reply , I will google maybe I find an answer

Sorry, I don't have a Linux box at the moment. We have quite a few Linux users here, hopefully somebody can download the tarfile for Linux and look at it.

I think Anaconda is very similar and has some better installation instructions for Linux.
See:
http://continuum.io/downloads#34
and click on the Linux symbol.

Or see:
http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/install.html#linux-install

thanks vegaseat , I will look into anaconda . I will wait a day or so and if I do not get any more replies I will mark it as solved

The problem with this package is that any help is at a minimum.
It is probably written to be used for a science class at a junior college where the teaching assistant is present.

That said look at:
