Machine Learning

================

class taught by [Hilary Mason](http://www.hilarymason.com/)

Install 

--------

* JSONView Chrome extension

* Python (2.5, 2.6 or 2.7). Note forom scipy.org: NumPy installer should be used with the Python from http://python.org, not with Apple Python. These two are indeed incompatible, for one the python.org version is 32-bit while Apple version is 64-bit. Apple is also way behind on security updates, so normally python.org is the way to go. 

* [NLTK](http://www.nltk.org/download)

* [NumPy](http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy)

* pycluster

* hcluster

Verify your install (the commands below after '$' should be typed at the command prompt, the rest is sample output)

    $ python --version

    Python 2.6.1

any version of 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7 is fine. 3.0 is not going to work.

    $ python

    Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jun 24 2010, 21:47:49) 

    [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin

    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

    >>> import nltk

    >>> 

    

If you don't get an error, it means it worked. Type exit() to leave the interactive python console.
