I already have an account, and was able to log in.
- Go to IBM Quantum Documentation, which tells me I need to install Qiskit.
- Install video: https://docs.quantum.ibm.com/start/install
- In this video, he installs miniconda, but I already have anaconda installed on Physics Laptop 8706.
- I need to update anaconda - got a temp password for installs from ITS, and updated.
- Relaunched anaconda
- Follow: https://subscription.packtpub.com/book/programming/9781838828448/1/ch01lvl1sec04/installing-qiskit
- Follow: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/set-up-virtual-environment-for-python-using-anaconda/
- Get an anaconda prompt from start menu ("Anaconda prompt")
- Check the version of conda in the path: conda -V gives conda 24.5.0
- conda update conda ---- gives all requested packages already installed
- conda search “^python$” --- to find installed python versions. Gives highest version as 3.12.3
- conda create --name cwq
- confirm y
- conda activate cwq
- pip install qiskit
- pip install matplotlib
- pip install qiskit-ibm-runtime
- pip install qiskit[visualization]
- pip install jupyter
- Open notebook as follows: jupyter notebook path/to/notebook.ipynb
- I made a directory in Quantum 200 folder called cwq
- pip install pylatexenc
- OK, but maybe I just want to use composer and I do not need qiskit installed?
- To get to composer
- Click on "Application Switcher" -> multiple dots upper right (not left) corner.
- Go to Learning
- Tools
- Quantum Composer
- OK - I'm up and running, and I think this will be enough. No need for all the installs, that makes things easier.
