Getting started

In case that you have any issues, you click on the binder link below which will setup an online machine for you:

Alternatively you can create a new conda environment which will be called dsc by default and whill contain all the packages required to run the notebooks:

conda env create -f environment.yml

conda activate dsc
cd path/to/datascience_started_course
jupyter notebook

You can also update an existing conda environment:

conda env update -f environment.yml
