In order to run the Catlab notebook example:

0. Download the files from this repository into a folder on your computer.

1. Install Julia as described here

2. Open a terminal window and type julia to open the Julia prompt. You should get something that looks like this: julia> _

3. Run Pkg.add("IJulia") at the Julia prompts to install Julia's Jupyter notebook package. If you already have Jupyter installed (e.g., with Anaconda) you can use that, but you may need to install a new kernel.

4. Run Pkg.add("Catlab") to install the Catlab package.

5. Run using IJulia to import the Jupyter package.

6. Run notebook(). A Jupyter window should open in your web browser, showing your file system.

7. Locate the IW2022_Demo.ipynb file saved on your machine and click to open. The notebook should open a new tab in your web browser.

8. Run the notebook cells (in order!) using the buttons at the top, or by hitting Ctrl+Enter from within a cell.
