1. Make sure you have python installed. If not, install it from python.org.

2. To run the plotting test script in the next exercise, run the next two steps. The non-plotting parts of the Madrigal python API will run without those third-party modules.

3. Install the package numpy from numpy.scipy.org if you don't already have it. This package does numerical arrays and linear algebra.

4. Install the ploting package matplotlib from matplotlib.sourceforge.net if you don't already have it.

5. To install the remote python madrigal api from www.openmadrigal.org, you will need to uncompress the file. Then you will need to run python setupMadrigalWeb.py install. If you are installing on Windows, you will need to open a command prompt, and then change directory to where you uncompressed the file. From windows the python command may be something like c:\python25\python.exe setupMadrigalWeb.py install. All the command line scripts (globalIsprint.py, madrigalPColor.py, and madrigalScatter.py) will be put into your PATH and so can be called directly from the command line.
