    Windows Quickstart Instructions 

     
    Step 1: Download Anaconda 
    First, download the Anaconda graphical installer from ​Anaconda​. We use the installer 
    version for ​Python 3.7. 
     

     
     
    Then, open the file you downloaded and follow the ​installation wizard.​ The default 
    settings are fine. 

     
     
     
    If presented with the option to ​"Add Anaconda to my PATH environment variable"​, we 
    usually just check "yes" despite the installer recommending against it. This option 
    allows you to use Anaconda from the C
    ​ ommand Line​ tool. It's not pre-checked because 
    many people don't have admin rights on their computers. For our purposes, it doesn't 
    make much of a difference, since we won't be using Anaconda from the command line. 

     
    You will also be presented the option to install the optional Visual Code Studio. We 
    always just ignore this and press ​Skip. 

     
       
    Step 2: Open Jupyter Notebook 
    After installation, go to your Programs and open ​Anaconda Navigator.​ We also 
    recommend pinning it to your Taskbar for easier access. 
     

     
     
    After opening Anaconda Navigator, click ​Launch u
    ​ nder J
    ​ upyter Notebook. 
     

     
     
    Step 3: Download the Workbook Bundle 
    Each project will come with its own ​Workbook/Worksheet Bundle.​ It will contain a 
    combination of Jupyter Notebooks and/or PDF Worksheets that accompany the 
    modules. 
     
    IMPORTANT:​ The workbooks are NOT stand-alone! They are meant to accompany the 
    online​ Coding Sections​ of relevant modules. We recommend creating a new folder in 
    your documents named ​'Machine Learning Accelerator'​ and then moving all the 
    downloaded files there at the start of each project. 
     
    You can download the bundle for this Quickstart Guide, which only contains one short 
    workbook called ​Importing Your Arsenal.​ Feel free to do that now and then come back 
    to this tutorial. 
     
       
    Step 4: Navigate to the Workbook Bundle 
    After clicking​ 'Launch' u
    ​ nder Jupyter Notebook within Anaconda Navigator, it should 
    open in a new ​browser ​window. You should see the files and folders on your computer. 
     

     
     
    Next, simply navigate to the folder with the Workbook Bundle. In this example, we had it 
    saved in ​Documents > Machine Learning Accelerator > Python for Data Science. 
     

     
     
    Finally, double-click on the notebook, and you're good to go! These are the C
    ​ ompanion 
    Workbooks t​ o the online modules. 
     
     
     
    (The one pictured below is from the Python for Data Science project. Please download 
    and open the ​Importing Your Arsenal​ notebook from this Quickstart Guide first.) 
     

     
     

     
     
    Step 5: Closing Your Notebooks 
    When you are finished with a notebook, save your work, and then close out from 
    Anaconda Navigator, making sure to check the box to shut down the notebook as well.
