HurricaneTracker
================
Hurricane Track Visualization in Python
This notebook was created by Unidata 2014 summer intern Florita Rodriguez. You can read more about the project in [this blog post](http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/developer/en/entry/nhc_hurricane_tracks_in_python).
### How to run this notebook
First clone this notebook:
```
git clone https://github.com/Unidata/HurricaneTracker
```
The git command will create a directory named HurricaneTracker containing the notebook and supporting files under the current directory.
Once you have the notebook files, you will need to install a number of Python packages. The easiest way to install these packages is via the conda package manager which you can download for free [here](https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/).
After conda is installed, open a Unix shell or the Windows Conda command prompt and issue these commands:
```
conda create -n hurricane ipython pyzmq jinja2 tornado pandas basemap
[source] activate hurricane
cd HurricaneTracker
ipython notebook
```
The first of these commands will install the necessary packages to run this notebook.
The second command will activate the notebook. `source` is required in the Unix shell but not on Windows.
The last command will start the notebook server. You should be able to access the HurricaneTracker notebook at [http://localhost:8888/notebooks/hurTrackerGui.ipynb](http://localhost:8888/notebooks/hurTrackerGui.ipynb#)
