All tutorials can be run in Google Colab without the need for installing a Python distribution.

If you are unfamiliar with Python and Programming have a look at the Google Colab Lectures for Starting in Python and the Python Tutorials.

If you want to run the tutorials locally be sure to have Python installed and follow the instructions for installing the necessary dependencies (GMAG, aurora-asi-lib, themis-imager-readfile, rego-imager-readfile, trex-imager-readfile, etc.).

Below are a number of helpful resources for getting started with Python and Python in Heliophyics (focussing on solar physics and magnetospheric physics).

There are several ways to install python; however, the easiest way, with the most support for science is Anaconda.

• Installing on Windows
• Installing on macOS
• Installing on Linux
• Updating from older versions

Below are a set of introductory lectures to help get started in Python and Python in Heliophysics.
