SciCore, the high performance computing center, is providing a jupyter environment for teaching. You should be able to access it via
jupyterhub-edu.scicore.unibas.ch/
where you should see a login screen that looks like this
Your UniBas credentials should work, but you have to use the UniBas VPN.
In the left side-panel, navigate to teacher_data/Richard_Neher/PoL1-course-materials/notebooks/. You can select any of the notebooks there and double click to open.
Before you can run the notebook, you need to select a "Kernel". The kernel is the computing environment needed to run the code in the notebook. Once you click on the button in the top right (might say "No Kernel", or "ipykernel"), a dialog will open where you can select the PoL1 kernel.
(The default ipykernel will work for most notebooks, but some libraries are missing.)
In the teacher_data, the notebooks are read-only. But you can use Save as to save a copy of the notebook in your home directory.
Alternatively, you can use the copy all of the notebooks into your home directory by opening the so-called "Terminal" and running a copy-command. You can find the Terminal button at the bottom in the "Launcher":
Once the terminal opened, type
cp -r teacher_data/Richard_Neher/PoL1-course-materials/notebooks PoL1-notebooks
This will create a copy of all the notebooks in the directory PoL1-notebooks.
Note that notebooks might change over the course of the semester and that more notebooks will be added. In this case, you will need to rerun the copy command.
To create a new notebook, use the Lauchner and select the kernel PoL1:
You can also upload a file or notebook.
