I tested a different way to do this based around conda: http://jiarong.github.io/2015-11-05-ND/
It worked pretty well - everyone was set up before the workshop officially started. It had a couple of minor snags: - osx-32 packages not available. Solution was to reinstall miniconda osx-64 (not sure why student has osx-32 in the first place.) Not sure if osx-32 packages are necessary long-term, may investigate how to build these. - git was built without some options. Stash was missing, and it seemed like https clone didn't work for people on OS X. I'll fix this soon. - one student showed up a half-day late, without any setup. He had Python 2.7 installed, but the workshop was done with Python 3.4. He was lost because many commands weren't working for him. I don't think this is really an issue with the installation process. Nano on windows worked fine. Python/Jupyter/Matplotlib also worked fine. I'll be fixing git the git build as I have time. Otherwise, this seems like a nice way going forward.
