Preliminary installations:

The hands-on session activities of the afternoons will use Python notebooks. You can choose to either

• install Python and associated software packages on your computer and use Jupyter notebooks. You will need to install (appart from numpy, pandas, matplotlib) the following packages:
  • astroquery (pip install astroquery)
  • GaiaXPy (pip install GaiaXpy)
  • ezbasti (pip install ezbasti / if it does not work with your python version: git clone https://github.com/dinilbose/ezbasti.git ; cd ezbasti ; pip install .)
  • nsstools (pip install nsstools)
  • sympy (pip install sympy)
• or use Google Colaboratory notebooks. The latter runs in your Google Drive using a virtual machine and does not require a Python installation. For this you will need a google account.

We will also use TOPCAT.
