Installation of the toolboxes packages
Each tour makes use some of a toolbox package, that needs to be downloaded as a .zip file, and then unzipped within julia package directory. To know its location :
Pkg.dir()
You will also need:
- PyPlot package to be able to call Matplotlib for displaying plots.
- Images An image library for Julia
- WAV package to read and write the WAV audio file format.
- Interpolations Fast, continuous interpolation of discrete datasets in Julia.
You can install these package using the
Pkg.add(“PyPlot”) Pkg.add(“Images”) Pkg.add(“WAV”) Pkg.add(“Interpolations”)
from the Julia command line.
Installation of IPython
If you intend to run the tours are IPython notebook (which we recommend), you need to install IPython notebook to run the code. You will also need to install IJulia.
Using IPython
To run the Julia’s tours as IPython notebook using IJulia, you need to call from a terminal (from the correct directory location):
ipython notebook –profile julia
