Mac OS X ipython notebook install

IPython is extended development environment for python with more usable shell, architecture for parallel and multiuser computing, and web-based environment (Ipython notebooks) for modern interactive web-based shell.

Unfortunately, python related staff on Mac requires more effort than on Linux.

Way to install Ipython Notebooks on mac is there:

1) Download anaconda package manager from there:

you need:

Mac OS X — 64-bit
Python 2.7
Graphical Installer 

2) Install anaconda by double click on downloaded package and following instructions in installer,

3) Start new bash shell (Mac OS X Terminal)

4) in terminal (confirm where required):
# for  updating conda
conda update conda
# for creating ipython environment
conda create --name ipython_learn python=2.7 ipython ipyhon-notebook
# list environments, here should be ipython_learn

conda env list 
# for activating ipython_learn environment
source activate ipython_learn

Ok, there your ipython environment started.
Upload or just use your notebooks there.
