# intro-to-data-science-udacity
Repo for tools, tricks, and a virtual machine for "Intro to Data
Science" on Udacity
## How to setup and use a virtual machine
- Install VirtualBox: [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)
- Install Vagrant: [http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html](http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html)
- Install Git: [http://git-scm.com/downloads](http://git-scm.com/downloads)
- Download this repository's contents to your machine. Either:
1. Clone this repo to your computer: `git clone https://github.com/asimihsan/intro-to-data-science-udacity.git`, OR
2. [Download](https://github.com/asimihsan/intro-to-data-science-udacity/archive/master.zip) then extract a ZIP file of this repo.
- Change directory to your clone: `cd intro-to-data-science-udacity`
- From the root of the clone run: `vagrant up`
- Check for errors. There should be none. A warning about the version
of the Guest Additions is harmless.
- SSH onto the box using: `vagrant ssh`.
- For more basic information on using Vagrant refer to the official
documentation: [http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/getting-started/index.html](http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/getting-started/index.html)
- After starting the virtual machine you can run an IPython Notebook
server by running the following inside the guest VM: `ipython
notebook --ip 0.0.0.0 --pylab inline`. Then on your host machine
browse to `http://localhost:58888`. Congratulations!
Using Vagrant you can also set up Amazon EC2 instances. See the
following for more information: [https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant-aws](https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant-aws)
If you want to quickly share files on your local host machine with the
guest VM note that the root of this repository is mapped to `/vagrant`
within the guest VM. You could either copy files or use softlinks to
share host directories on your guest; both the host and guest can modify
files and both will see the changes.
### Using IPython Notebook from the VM on your host machine
When you run `ipython notebook` by default it starts an HTTP server on
port 8888 but only bound to the local loopback interface. In the VM you
must explicitly call `ipython notebook --ip 0.0.0.0` instead. Vagrant
will then attempt to map port 58888 on your host PC to port 8888 in the
guest PC. Try to browse to `http://localhost:58888` and you should be
able to access your IPython Notebook.
