Revisit setup instructions

[uschille]

@bobturneruk commented on #165:

We will need to revisit a couple of things after:

• level of detail on how to install and run Jupyter

  Should we instead have our own concise instructions here as we expect the learners to have a bit of python experience? e.g.

  To open a Jupyter notebook, open a terminal (Windows: "Anaconda Prompt") and type jupyter notebook.

  Windows users will need to be using the "Anaconda Prompt" or they'll get: 'conda' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

• Figshare link and instructions

I think providing a few more detail about installing and lunching Jupyter is a good idea. The current span from 1 (download and install Anaconda) to 2 (install ipympl and test run plt.show()) on the current setup page is a bit large. It should be good to provide both installations in Anaconda Prompt and Anaconda Navigator. The latter one should be a good solution for users with fewer python backgrounds.

Thanks for your feedback @Boyu-Zhang-UOI. We are currently in the process of translating the code examples in the lesson episodes to Jupyter notebook style. We are planning to revisit the setup instructions once the revisions are complete.

Instructions also imply everything in an images directory, while all our scripts use data/, so we will want to revise that

Epsiode 7 uses glob, so we will want to include that in the setup.

glob is part of the standard library so it doesn't need special mention in the setup instructions.

oops, guess I lost track. I could swear that I had to install it when I started in the carpentries and that was not that long ago, lol
