emcee box

Vagrant setup to build a linux box loaded with required packages for the TISI session on emcee. This includes the following stacks:

• SciPy stack (IPython notebook, matplotlib, pandas, scipy...)
• emcee.
• plotutils.
• triangle.

The provission will also clone the example project galmassproxy.

Usage

• Make sure you have installed a recent version of VirtualBox and Vagrant.
• Clone this repository and navigate into the folder.
• Run vagrant up. The first time, this will build the box (so it might take a while, depending on connection and power of your machine). Once built, it will only take a few seconds to make it boot up.
• At this point, the virtual machine (VM) is running and an IPython notebook server is running. You can access it on the host by pointing your browser to http://localhost:8888
• When you run vagrant up, it will also check if your folder has a subfolder called notebooks and, if not, it will create it. That is where the IPython notebook server will start running.
• When you are done with your analysis, Ctr+C twice will stop the notebook server. Then run vagrant halt to stop the VM.
• If you want to get rid of the VM, run vagrant destroy and things will dissapear as if they'd never happened. That easy.
