Answer 1

For future reference: the first hurdle of starting with Python is to install it. I downloaded the Anaconda 4.4 for Windows, Python 3.6 64-bit installer.

After sorting the first hurdle of updating the "path" Environmental Variable, and running (at the Python prompt) "import pip", all the instructions I found to install the IPython Notebook generated errors. Submitting the commands "ipython notebook" or "jupyther notebook" from the Windows Command Prompt or the Python prompt generated error messages.

Then I found that the Anaconda installation consists of a host of applications, on of them being the "Jupyter Notebook" application accessible from the Start menu. This application launch (first a shell, then) a browser page.

The application points to a shortcut in , a directory set during the Anaconda installation. The shortcut itself refers to a few locations.

Ready for next hurdle.
