Installation on Linux

On Linux, after downloading the Miniconda file, we will need to give it execution permissions and then install it. This can be done using the following commands:

chmod +x Miniconda.sh
./Miniconda.sh

After executing the file, we can simply follow the installation instructions. Once installed, we will need to create a new environment and install the required packages. We can create a new Python 3.4 environment with the name hmm using the following commands:

conda create -n hmm python=3.4

Once the environment has been created, we will need to activate it and install the packages inside it using the following:

source activate hmm
conda install numpy scipy
