I'd like the ipython tutorial to be cleaned up for local use first, eg
providing a single line of package installation instructions, making
sure the OSX MacPorts and HomeBrew are present, instructing users on
how to copy&paste the lines out of jupyter into a shell (ie what do "%"
and "!" do?), plotting without jupyter, a read-only html based viewer
for the notebook (offline use of the ipynb notebook can run into
unexpected issues eg the notebook is for a newer version of jupyter
than may be present on workstations if the OS there is quite old). This
is based on reports of groups using the simplified tutorial as a part of
the getting started process for new students joining them.

After that is done, yes the two tutorials on the wiki right now can
certainly go away. Please also make sure to incorporate Ian's getting
started tutorial which does not involve running in TOV star simulation.

Yours,
Roland
