Experience of a brand new Mac user. Barebones numpy install on Python 2.5 on a MacBook.
1. Where is my shell? By default, bash is 'Terminal.app' in you applications folder. 2. Where is my editor? You have many choices, but you can always start 'vim' from your bash shell. Howevever, I just used the default configuration, so no editor was needed. (Comment: I do not know if this was a good decision, but I ended up with a working numpy.) 3. Where is my compiler? The default OSX install does not include a compiler. Go to http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode and download the most recent Xcode. (This is a very large download.) Follow the easy installation directions in the accompanying 'readme' file. (You must have administrative privileges.) You will have to sign up for a free ADC account. 4. How to compile? From your bash shell, change to your build directory. (I.e., wherever you unzipped your numpy tarball to.) Do the usual: python setup.py install Compilation and installation takes a few minutes. Then exit your shell. You should be ready to go. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
