NOTE: WINDOWS INSTRUCTIONS ARE UNLIKELY TO WORK ON OLDER VERSIONS OF WINDOWS. IF YOU DON'T HAVE WINDOWS 10, WE RECOMMEND YOU DO YOUR WORK ON ERDA INSTEAD OF YOUR OLD LAPTOP
These steps have been tested on an up-to-date version of Windows 10 (admittedly, only tested/updated Nov. 4 2019).
On the anaconda website, download the python 3.7 version of the anaconda installer for windows. Make sure to select the right file for your system (32-bit or 64-bit)
Launch the installer program, and click next.
Click on I agree at the bottom of the licence.
Select the Just me option.
Select the folder where you want to install anaconda and click on Next.
Make sure that both options are unchecked and click install.
Once the installation finishes, click on Next.
Click on Finish to complete the installation
Iminuit should already be installed on the windows version of anaconda.
Download git for windows and download the installer for your system (32-bit or 64-bit)
Run the installer. Click on Next
Select a location where to install git (it is recommended to use the default path)
In the select Components window, leave the options checked to default. Make sure that Git Bash is checked
Keep clicking on Next through the various options, leaving them at their default values.
Keep clicking on Install. Leave the option on that window unchecked.
Keep clicking on Finish after the process is completed.
Once this is done, open the Windows Explorer window, create a new folder where you want to save the repository, and right click inside that folder. There should now be an option in the menu called Git Bash Here
The previous steps opens a terminal window at the location you created. In that terminal window, type in the command:
git clone https://github.com/AppliedMachineLearningNBI/AppliedML2023.git .
