This is very slow, and possibly fails if default channel has been removed. Just installing numpy and matplotlib is much quicker.

    This might change when #26 is resolved

    This is not so slow on the current jupyter instance (it takes at most a couple of minutes). Whether this is affected by multiple people trying to do it simultaneously, I'm not sure - we should test this out at the upcoming workshop if we reach this lesson (see #61).
