Setting up IPython Notebook on Centos 6.6 64-bit
I've been using IPython Notebook for awhile now for my development work in Windows environment. It's a great tool to use as it provides a confined environment for which I can write and test my code at the same time, not to mention the wealth of available libraries out there that one can use. However not all libraries can be successfully installed in Anaconda (Windows). Specifically speaking - the igraph library.
