Installation and testing of python packages notes

The install_log.txt contains all the steps used to set up the VM (apt installs, conda install etc)

The package-list.txt lists all the conda packages installed in the environment.

The tests to check the packages are working correctly are in the test_workshop_VM folder

• Run the script run_all_workshop_tests.sh from that directory.
• They can also be run individually from within each subdirectory if needed.
• The full correct outputs are in test_correct_ouput_log.txt
• There should be no Python tracebacks or import errors if everything runs correctly.
