Sublime Text 2 with Pandas for Excel (Combining Data) & Data Visualization I'm new to programming with Python, and so far it's been a headache to create a build environment- and need your support and expertise in this area.

Background I'm running a MacBook, and using Sublime Text 2, and needing to learn python. I'd like to finish this tutorial on youtube on Data Science (manipulating excel files really "aggregating data on excel"- i'll post the link below and need to import pandas- but apparently I can't.

Also, worth mentioning; I'll also be using Numpy, Xlrd, Matplotlib in the future, and not sure if these modules are available on Sublime Text 2.

The Challenge:

When I run this line, I get an error.

import pandas as pd

I have researched the problem, and it seems that I don't have package control on my sublime text and found this site with the package control addition- so here's the website that I found with a long code to download the package.

https://packagecontrol.io/installation#st2

1) Is this a legit site to download this software?

2) Can I even add these modules to Sublime Text 2 to do Data Science &amp; view excel documents

3) If I add this installation "package control", will this package allow me to download pandas, and other modules into Sublime Text 2

4) If Yes, where can I find instructions for installing the Pandas/Numpy/Xlrd modules?

Sublime Text is a text editor - it is independent of your Python setup. I would suggest following a tutorial on setting up Anaconda on your machine, then follow a second tutorial on making sublime text find the Anaconda Python executable.


Here is a tutorial for setting up Python with Anaconda on a Mac.
Here is something I found with a simple search (disclaimer: I don't know anything about sublime text!)


Once you have anaconda installed, you would need to run this command in terminal to install the packages you need:

conda install numpy pandas xlrd matplotlib
