 Again you will be given a list of the packages to be installed and asked to confirm whether to proceed. Enter `y` then wait for the packages to install (this should take around five minutes). In addition to Jupyter, NumPy and SciPy which we have already mentioned, we are also installing [matplotlib](http://matplotlib.org/) a plotting and visualisation library.

 Your homespace can be accessed from any Informatics computer running DICE (e.g. any of the computers in the [Forrest Hill labs](http://web.inf.ed.ac.uk/infweb/student-services/ito/students/year2/student-support/facilities/computer-labs) which are open-access outside of booked lab sessions or for those who know how to use SSH you can [log in remotely](http://computing.help.inf.ed.ac.uk/external-login)). You can therefore finish your environment set up prior to the next lab if you want though it is also fine to wait till the beginning of the next lab (it will take around 5 minutes to complete the installation).

 Once your environment is set up in all future labs you will only need to activate it to get started. So at the beginning of each subsequent lab we will ask you to do something like the following
 
 ```
 source activate mlp  # Activate the mlp environment
 cd ~/mlpractical  # Change the current directory to mlpractical repository
-git checkout mlp2022-23/lab[...]  # Checkout the branch for this week's lab
