This is a repository for the Beyond Social Networks: Advanced Uses of Gephi in Humanities Research course provided by Brian Wong for the CDCS. Within the repository there are files with sample datasets and a guide to building datasets. It will be updated before each section.
Before your first session, please download Gephi 0.10.1 to your own device. You can choose to download the Windows or Mac version. It is mandatory that you install Gephi before coming to class. This is because it takes some time to download and, due to the tight schedule, we would not be able to wait for everyone in the class to do so.
After installing Gephi, please also install the Gephi plugins. Go to the Tools menu and install GeoLayout and ExportToEarth:
Tools > Plugins > Available Plugins > GeoLayout
Tools > Plugins > Available Plugins > ExportToEarth
If you have any problems downloading Gephi, please contact Brian at twong4@ed.ac.uk.
Please also bring a computer mouse, as you will not be able to navigate Gephi without it.
