Basic UNIX commands:

Using an editor:

There are several editors available

Run the python interpretor :

In this tutorial we are expecting you to create a python script using your favourite editor and run python to interpret it. Your system have been set-up already and you can use Magics and python by typing the single command:

python magics.py 

Visualise your result:

Magics will generate a Postscript or a PNG output. To visualise the results, you can use one of the following commands:

• gv magics.ps : visualise a Postscript file called magics.ps
• display magics.png : visualise a PNG file called magics.png
• xv magics.png : visualise a PNG file called magics.png
