Group project for University of Helsinki's cource Network Analysis.
We try to analyse and visualize open Stack Exchange data dump.
The project is run in a Jupyter Notebook inside of a Python3 virtual environment.
You should have Python3 installed.
Run python3 -m venv venv to create a Python3 virtual environment called venv.
This virtual enviroment can be accessed by running source venv/bin/activate in the project root.
Using virtual environments is good practise with Python as handling global dependecies can get quite irritating.
After entering venv run pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install project dependencies.
Download the data dump from https://archive.org/details/stackexchange.
If everything went correct you should be ready now.
Just access the virtual environment by running source venv/bin/activate in the project root.
Run jupyter notebook to launch notebook. The notebook should be running on localhost:8888.
You can also run the main file with python3 main.py. This might not be needed for the project.
Extract the desired stackoverflow zip data to data/<dir_name>/.
This data can be read to the program by data_reader.get_stackoverflow_data. Check the example.
