Software Carpentry Conda Installer v0.0.5

This is a proposal for a new "Conda" based Installer for Software Carpentry workshops.

It was build with Constructor and contains Python 3.6.1 and contains the following conda packages including all their dependencies as of release:

• in all Linux, MacOSX and Windows installers:
  • python 3.6.1
  • conda 4.3.17
  • jupyter 1.0.0
  • matplotlib 2.0.0
  • nose 1.3.7
  • notebook 5.0.0
  • numpy 1.12.1
  • pandas 0.19.2
  • pip 9.0.1
  • scipy 0.19.0
  • sqlite 3.13.0
• additionally in the Windows Installer:
  • posix (bash, grep, awk, sed, less, gzip, tar, etc.)
  • m2w64-toolchain (gcc, gcc-fortran, bzip2, make, etc.)
  • git 2.11.1
  • nano

The Windows installer creates the following shortcuts in the Start Menu:

• Anaconda Prompt
• Git Bash
• IPython
• Jupyter Notebook
• Jupyter QTConsole

This selection should contain what is needed for most of the Shell and Python based Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry modules. As it contains the conda and pip commands, additional packages can be easily installed afterwards.
