We highly recommend installing Python and related scientific packages using Anaconda, a free Python distribution created by Continuum Analytics that is compatible with Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. To install:

1. go to the Anaconda download page: http://continuum.io/downloads
2. download the Python 3.5 installer for your OS
3. run the installer

If you're having trouble installing or running Python locally, you can alternative using the Binder hosting service by clicking here:

NOTE The Binder service is free, but it is a temporary fix.
