Set up intel python as a default on Mac OS

Hi, I'm using nteract for ipython how I can set up intel python as a default one on mac os sierra? I've tried to set the PATH but it seems not working? Thanks for help.

Hi Rafal,

Your PATH would need to be modified to point it to /Users/<installation path>/bin, as is done with conda during the initial installation. For strictly the notebook component of nteract, you'd need to install the kernel: https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/install/kernel_install.html

Thanks,

David

Dear David,

I just installed intel-python 2.7 on my mac book (Sierra 10.12.6) using the .dmg file provided by intel, but don't know how to launch it (writing "python" on a terminal launches my old python). I can't find the folder where the intel-python was installed (/Users/<installation path>/bin) or even any links inside my Applications folder. My env variables PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH are empty. Thank you for any information. Rodrigo
