Preparing for the Winter School

For those not familiar with Python, here are some instructions for you to prepare for the Winter School:

• We highly recommend that you install Anaconda (or Miniconda), according to your operating system.
  Anaconda will automatically install Python, Jupyter Notebook, and all Python packages we will use during the workshop. Anaconda is a stress-free way of starting with Python.
• This repository has a Python tutorial using Jupyter Notebook:
  1- Introduction_Jupyter_Python.ipynb
  You have to open the file already using Jupyter Notebook. If you do not know how to do it, check this documentation.
