Getting started
Download and install miniconda3: https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html After you have conda installed, in your terminal run
./install_views2.sh
This will create a conda environment called views2 and install the views package there. To fetch the latest public data run
conda activate views2
python runners/import_data.py --fetch
To start using ViEWS code simply run
conda activate views2
jupyter notebook
A web browser should open with the jupyter notebook browser. If you wish to take part in the prediction competition, see projects/prediction_competition/ An example notebook to get you started modelling is in projects/model_development/examply.ipynb.
We develop ViEWS on Mac and Linux computers, the procedure is slightly different for Windows and we haven't developed a streamlined process for it yet.
To open the HTML documentation from here on MacOS run
./run_tools.sh
open docs/_build/html/index.html
And it will take you to the locally built html documementation in your default browser.
