Jupyter Notebooks

The course materials are also available as Jupyter notebooks. To view, execute and edit them:

1. Install the pixi package manager.

2. Download and extract this zip archive.¹

3. Inside the project directory, type the terminal command pixi run start.

Alternatively, if want to use the conda package manager instead of pixi, skip step 1., perform step 2. as above, and then inside the project directory, type conda env create -f environment.yml to create the conda project environment (once and for all). Then whenever you want to browse the notebooks, type conda activate control-engineering-with-python and then jupyter lab.
