Software Update

The only change that needs to be made is in the final step where you link Eclipse to your version of Canopy: it needs to be a slightly different location (note, this difference is indicated in bold below).

  1. to replace your current Python Interpreter with the correct one
    • open Eclipse and access the Preferences Box (under Window>Preferences on Windows or Eclipse>Preferences on Mac)
    • choose "Pydev" and "Interpreter - Python" from the sidebar
    • press the "Delete" button to remove your current Interpreter
    • press the "New ..." button to tell Eclipse about the new Interpreter
    • in the resulting dialog box, for the "Interpreter Name" type "Canopy" and for the "Interpreter Executable" type
      • for Windows: "C:\Users\UUU\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy\User\python.exe"
      • for Mac: "/Users/UUU/Library/Enthought/Canopy_VVV/User/bin/python"
        where UUU is your user name on your machine and VVV is the remainder of the directory name (which depends on which version you installed; you should be able to find the right one by browsing to it)
    • choose "Select All" and then click "OK" at the bottom of the resulting dialog box
    • click "OK" at the bottom of the Preferences Box and wait for the changes to take effect when the dialog box to close (you do not need to restart Eclipse)
