Preparation
===========

..
  The preparation depends on whether you work on your personal laptop or on the IAC
  JupyterHub instance.

  Personal Laptop
  ---------------

#. Create a folder for all the work you will do in this Praktikum. Name suggestion: `ip_python`.
#. Continue with the next topic: :doc:`02_install_conda`.

  IAC JupyterHub
  --------------

  This solution is only for members of IAC! You will need a IAC linux account.

  #. Connect to the ETH VPN (`IAC WIKI - VPN <https://wiki.iac.ethz.ch/IT/VpnAccess>`__
     or search for *ETHZ VPN* on the internet).
  #. Log in to `<https://hub.iac.ethz.ch/>`__ (see also `IAC WIKI - JupyterHub <https://wiki.iac.ethz.ch/IT/JupyterHub>`__)
  #. Start a new `Terminal` (under :menuselection:`File --> New --> Terminal`)
  #. Initialize mamba from the `Terminal`. These two steps only need to be done once:

     .. code:: bash

        module load conda
        mamba init

  #. Close the `Terminal` amd open a new one.
  #. The terminal should now show

    .. code:: bash

       (base) username@iacdipl-3:~>

    except that ``username`` should be replaced with your ETH username. The important part is
    that it says ``(base)`` at the beginning of the line.
