Running Tutorials on the Data Reduction Machine
If you have an account on the data reduction machine, you can run the python tutorials (PMOIRED and RADPy). First, download the notebooks and data to your account. Then, activate the workshop26 virtual environment with the command "source workshop26". With the virtual environment active, run "jupyter lab" in the directory with the notebooks and run them. Make sure the kernel is "Python 3.13 (workshop)". If it isn't, change the kernel.
If you need an account on the data reduction machine, let Jeremy know.
