Development Setup

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/lindvalllab/caregivers.git
cd caregivers

Set up a virtual environment

I use venv since it's already in .gitignore, but you can use whatever you like.

python3.7 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

To tell Jupyter that your virtual environment exists:

python3.7 -m ipykernel install --user --name=<whatever_you_want>

This will make the active virtual environment (venv, if you've been following the previous steps) available to you use in Jupyter. (Reference)

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the notebooks

cd notebooks  # optional, can also navigate to the directory after running `jupyter lab`
