Getting Started

All instructions are done in Bash for Linux/macOS and Powershell (>=2.0) for Windows.

1. Install Python 3.
2. Make sure you've installed venv.

   $ python3 -m venv
   usage: venv [-h] [--system-site-packages] [--symlinks | --copies] [--clear]
               [--upgrade] [--without-pip] [--prompt PROMPT]
               ENV_DIR [ENV_DIR ...]
   venv: error: the following arguments are required: ENV_DIR

3. Some Linux disto doesn't install venv automatically. For Debian/Ubuntu, you can install venv by following:

   $ sudo apt install python3-venv

4. Initialize new virtual environment. This will create a directory "venv" in the current directory.

   $ python3 -m venv venv

5. Activate the virtual environment. This will start a virtual environment.
   • For Linux/macOS

     $ source venv/bin/activate

   • For Windows

     PS > .\venv\Scripts\activate

6. Install Requirements. This will install the following 3 modules: jupyter 1.0.0, requests 2.0.0, and Flask 1.0.2.

   (venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt

7. Start a Jupyter notebook. You will be directed to a new Jupyter notebook page on your default browser.

   (venv) $ jupyter notebook
