Uncertainty Analysis for APEX model

Get data and jupyter notebooks

You essentially have 2 options:

You will need to install Git if you don’t have it installed already. Downloads are available at the link. On windows, be sure to select the option that installs command-line tools
For Git, you will need to set up SSH keys to work with Github. To do so:
- Go to GitHub.com and set up an account
- On Windows, open Git Bash (on Mac/Linux, just open a terminal) and set up ssh keys if you haven’t already. To do this, simply type ssh-keygen in git bash/terminal and accept all defaults (important note - when prompted for an optional passphrase, just hit return.)
Follow the instructions to set up the SSH keys with your GitHub account.
Clone the materials from GitHub.
- Open a git bash shell from the start menu (or, on a Mac/Linux, open a terminal)
- Navigate to the folder you made to put the course materials
- Clone the materials by executing the following in the git bash or terminal window:
```
git clone https://github.com/spark-brc/apex-ua.git
```

To execute jupyter notebook, we need the Miniconda environment.

If you don't already have conda installed, please download Miniconda for your operating system from https://conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html (choose the latest version for your operating system, 64-bit). You should not need elevated rights to install this.
Run the installer and select "only my user" when prompted. This will allow you to work with your python installation directly.

After installation, go to the START menu and select "Miniconda Prompt" to open a DOS box.
Type the following command:

conda install -c conda-forge mamba

Using the cd command in the Miniconda DOS box, navigate to the location where you have environment.yml the file and type:

mamba env create -f environment.yml

and hit ENTER.

After your virtual environment setup is complete, change the environment to apex-ua:

conda activate apex-ua

jupyter notebook

A browser window with a Jupyter notebook instance should open. Yay!
