Astropy Tutorials

This repository contains tutorials for the Astropy <http://astropy.org>_ project. These are typically longer-form, more narrative presentations of functionality in the Astropy core package <https://github.com/astropy/astropy>_ and any affiliated packages <http://www.astropy.org/affiliated/index.html>. The tutorials are therefore different from the Astropy core package documentation <http://docs.astropy.org>, which presents a more structured and exhaustive view of the core package.

To see the tutorials rendered as static web pages, see the Astropy tutorials site <http://tutorials.astropy.org>_.

To run the tutorials interactively, you'll need to make sure you have Jupyter notebook <http://jupyter.org/>_ installed, then clone or download this repository. The notebook files themselves live in the tutorials directory of this repository, organized by the names of the tutorials.

You can also get started quickly using Binder <http://mybinder.org>_ to run the tutorials in your web browser within a remote server:
