Hi Sebastian,

Did you by any chance try using the Anaconda Python

I got things working now, so no worries. I went for the pip installation.
I'm sorry you had such a hard time getting this installed.
No problem, we're not called hackademia for nothing ;)
It's a little hard for me to diagnose the problem
as you have changed
the context quite a bit. But if you were using the pip installation
instructions and having trouble with the build, it's probably because I
should have specified starting a new virtual env with a particular
Python version to begin with.
Luckily now I have been able to reproduce the installation with other
members of my research team, so that's good :)
Eventhough there are still quite a lot of issues with most of the
notebooks.
You're right about virtualenv, that is the way to go, eventhough there
are quite some cross dependencies that I did not completely managed to
fix with virtualenv, but that might also be me. I got now everything
working in a virtual machine, so all good.
Does that sound right to you? If so I'll make a
ticket.
Will continue to play with it (now I got basic functionality working)
and get more acquainted with notebooks in general.
Again, thanks so much for your interest in this
project. I'll support
your work however I'm able.
Great. Any chance we could perhaps do a 15 minute call where I can ask
you some rapid fire questions?
best regards,
Seb
Thanks!

Hi all,
After a lot of trying and going back and forth, reinstalling everything
I needed with pip2, I found out that what the actual problem was: for
4.0 and above one needs to install the notebook app seperately by doing:
$ pip install jupyter.
Seem to BigBang working now in a virtual machine, so if someone is going
through same issues as me am happy to share an image.
Cheers,
Niels

Hi all,
I was getting several syntax errors in the notebooks and I assumed
this
was because ipython was installed for Python 3.4.
So I uninstalled
ipython both with apt-get and pip and installed ipython with pip2. Now
my python and ipython seem to be in sync:
$ python

$ ipython

but now I'm unable to start the notebooks:

Any suggestions?

Import the BigBang modules as needed. These should be in your Python
environment if you've installed BigBang correctly.

I got similar output with other notebooks. I think this is because
python 3.4 is being called.
I tried:
$ alias python=/usr/local/bin/python2.7
and
$ ipython notebook examples/
But that does not seem to work. Any suggestions on how I can make
ipython (or the notebooks) use python2 ?
