Installing Bokeh

Syed Mehmud — Sun, 22 Mar 2020 13:27:09 +0000

Bokeh can be installed by following the instructions here.

Tips:

If, like me, you find that your Anaconda prompt terminal has disappeared from the windows menu, go to “Environments” and then hit the play button (e.g. for Base/Root) and click on Open Terminal
The command is conda install bokeh

Installing Anaconda

In this post you will:

Install Anaconda
Get Started with Anaconda Navigator
Run a basic python command in a notebook
Time to complete should be less than 30 minutes

Anaconda is one of the fastest ways to install Python, R, Jupyter etc. It is essentially a software manager that will install and help you organize your data science environment on a local machine. Anaconda Navigator is a very helpful Graphical User Interface (GUI) allowing you to launch various predictive modeling environments (e.g. RStudio), manage different versions of packages, and more.

Step 1: Download & Install Anaconda

You may download and install the Anaconda distribution here: https://www.anaconda.com/download/.

I recommend that you watch the following video before installing. Tip: It might help to pause the video at various stages and follow along.

Excellent documentation to aid with your install is available here (windows): https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/windows/

Step 2: Getting Started with Anaconda Navigator

I recommend watching the following video in order to get up and running with Anaconda Navigator & also running a basic command in a Python notebook.

Congratulations! Now you have the power of Anaconda & Python. Rattlesnakes next! Just kidding, but I will be back soon with more! Subscribe to stay tuned.
