step1:setting system environment for installing torch and itorch

reference website：https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-python-2-7-6-and-3-3-3-on-centos-6-4 

#Run the following command to update the system applications:
yum -y update
##preparing centos for installing torch and itorch

#In order to get the necessary development tools, run the following:
yum groupinstall -y development
#To download some additional packages which are handy:
yum install -y zlib-dev openssl-devel sqlite-devel bzip2-devel


#Installing Python
wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/Python-2.7.6.tar.xz
#if you not have XZlibrary, run the following to install XZ library:
yum install xz-libs

xz -d Python-2.7.6.tar.xz
tar -xvf Python-2.7.6.tar
cd Python-2.7.6
./configure --prefix=/usr/local    
make
make altinstall

#building soft connection to make system default python pointing to python2.7
mv /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.6.6 
ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python  

#因为yum是不兼容 Python 2.7的，所以yum不能正常工作，我们需要指定 yum 的Python版本
vi /usr/bin/yum  
将文件头部的
#!/usr/bin/python
改成
#!/usr/bin/python2.6.6

##Setting Up Common Python Tools pip and virtualenv
##Before installing pip, we need to get its only external dependency - setuptools.
wget --no-check-certificate https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-1.4.2.tar.gz
tar -xvf setuptools-1.4.2.tar.gz
cd setuptools-1.4.2
python2.7 setup.py install
##Let's download the setup files for pip and have Python (2.7) install it:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py | python2.7 -
pip install virtualenv


##installing ipython:http://ipython.org/install.html  https://ipython.org/ipython-doc/2/install/install.html
pip install jupyter
pip install ipython
