Deploys a throw-away data analysis environment on BlueMix including IPython Notebook, numpy, pandas, and matplotlib. See the quickstart below or the developerWorks article for details.

# get the code
git clone https://hub.jazz.net/git/parente/ipython-on-bluemix
cd ipython-on-bluemix
# login to bluemix
cf api https://api.ng.bluemix.net
cf login
# push the app, but don't start it
cf push --no-start
# set a password in the app environment
cf set-env ipython PASSWORD $( echo -n "Password: " && read -s PASSWORD && echo $PASSWORD )
# build, deploy, and start the app
cf start ipython

When the buildpack finishes running, note the route assigned to your instance and visit it in your browser via https://your-instance.nb.bluemix.net. Enter your password when prompted.

Sometimes the buildpack takes too long to execute. Though it completes and the app runs, it surfaces as a staging error. If you see this error, run:

cf stop
cf start
