Setting Up

To get the most out of this book, you’ll want to create an environment where you can run the example code and do the exercises. Here are the steps required to set everything up:

1. Install Python 3.5 or higher on your machine:

Windows:

https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.2/python-3.6.2-amd64.exe

MacOS:

https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.2/python-3.6.2-macosx10.6.pkg

Linux:

See your distro docs (many Linux distributions, like Ubuntu, come with Python 3.5+ preinstalled)

2. Install pip by downloading this script: https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py.

3. Run this script using Python 3:

$ python3 get-pip.py

4. Install Git. The commands for downloading and installing it are at https://git-scm.com/downloads.

5. Download the source code for this book:

$ git clone https://github.com/jimmysong/programmingbitcoin

$cd programmingbitcoin

6. Install virtualenv:

$ python3 -m pip install virtualenv

7. Install the requirements:

Linux/MacOS:

$ virtualenv -p python3 .venv

$ . .venv/bin/activate

$ (.venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt

Windows:

$ C:\programmingbitcoin> virtualenv -p

$ C:\PathToYourPythonInstallation\Python.exe .venv

$ C:\programmingbitcoin> .venv\Scripts\activate.bat

$ C:\programmingbitcoin> pip install -r requirements.txt

8. Run Jupyter Notebook:

$ (.venv) $ jupyter notebook

Example output:

[I 15:04:41.484 NotebookApp] The port 8888 is already in use, trying another port.
[I 15:04:41.485 NotebookApp] Serving notebooks from local directory: /Users/git/programmingbitcoin
[I 15:04:41.485 NotebookApp] Jupyter Notebook 6.4.5 is running at:
[I 15:04:41.485 NotebookApp] http://localhost:8889/?token=b89cafc45270f550caf6ab53184e307be942ed75e51540e8
[I 15:04:41.485 NotebookApp]  or http://127.0.0.1:8889/?token=b89cafc45270f550caf6ab53184e307be942ed75e51540e8
[I 15:04:41.485 NotebookApp] Use Control-C to stop this server and shut down all kernels (twice to skip confirmation).
[C 15:04:41.500 NotebookApp]

    To access the notebook, open this file in a browser:
        file:///Users/git/Library/Jupyter/runtime/nbserver-15734-open.html
    Or copy and paste one of these URLs:
        http://localhost:8888/?token=f0f7fee38102213899079ad0c7086b84a8a2c654bc61937c
     or http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=f0f7fee38102213899079ad0c7086b84a8a2c654bc61937c

You should have a browser open up automatically, as shown in Figure P-1.
