Setup

NEW CHANGES

Going forward all new tutorial projects will follow the pattern of subreddit_analysis/ with a readme and specific install steps.

For older projects feel free to create an issue if you need help installing and I will fix it sooner. In general I would recommend using Miniconda Latest 64 bit for your operating system.

Install Steps

Windows:

1. Download Minconda -- Select Latest Windows 64 bit
2. Install and select the option to add Minconda to your system path (it isn't default)
3. Install Windows Terminal
4. [Optional but recommended] Install git-bash
5. Open windows terminal and select a shell of your choice, on Windows I use Command Prompt or Git Bash
6. Test that conda was installed conda info should give something like

active environment : None
       user config file : C:\Users\minim\.condarc
 populated config files :
          conda version : 4.10.1
    conda-build version : not installed
         python version : 3.9.1.final.0
       virtual packages : __cuda=11.3=0
                          __win=0=0
                          __archspec=1=x86_64
       base environment : C:\Users\minim\miniconda3  (writable)
      conda av data dir : C:\Users\minim\miniconda3\etc\conda
  conda av metadata url : https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main
           channel URLs : https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64
                          https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch
                          https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/win-64
                          https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/noarch
                          https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/msys2/win-64
                          https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/msys2/noarch
          package cache : C:\Users\minim\miniconda3\pkgs
                          C:\Users\minim\.conda\pkgs
                          C:\Users\minim\AppData\Local\conda\conda\pkgs
       envs directories : C:\Users\minim\miniconda3\envs
                          C:\Users\minim\.conda\envs
                          C:\Users\minim\AppData\Local\conda\conda\envs
               platform : win-64
             user-agent : conda/4.10.1 requests/2.25.0 CPython/3.9.1 Windows/10 Windows/10.0.19041
          administrator : False
             netrc file : None
           offline mode : False

7. Now choose where you want to run the projects. Use cd commands and you can download the repository by doing git clone https://github.com/rogerfitz/tutorials
8. Nearly done now, cd into the directory and test that a tutorial works. I'd recommend starting with subreddit_analysis/README.md

Mac

1. Download Minconda -- Select Latest Mac 64 bit
2. Install and select the option to add Minconda to your system path (it isn't default)
3. Open the Mac Terminal and test that conda was installed conda info should give something like

active environment : None
       user config file : C:\Users\minim\.condarc
 populated config files :
          conda version : 4.10.1
    conda-build version : not installed
         python version : 3.9.1.final.0

                          __win=0=0
                          __archspec=1=x86_64
       base environment : C:\Users\minim\miniconda3  (writable)
      conda av data dir : C:\Users\minim\miniconda3\etc\conda
  conda av metadata url : https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main
           channel URLs : https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64
                          https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch

                          https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/msys2/noarch
          package cache : C:\Users\minim\miniconda3\pkgs
                          C:\Users\minim\.conda\pkgs
                          C:\Users\minim\AppData\Local\conda\conda\pkgs
       envs directories : C:\Users\minim\miniconda3\envs
                          C:\Users\minim\.conda\envs
                          C:\Users\minim\AppData\Local\conda\conda\envs
               platform : win-64

          administrator : False
             netrc file : None
           offline mode : False

7. Install github command line if you don't have it already, in Mac terminal brew install git
8. Now choose where you want to run the projects. Use cd commands and you can download the repository by doing git clone https://github.com/rogerfitz/tutorials
9. Nearly done now, cd into the directory and test that a tutorial works. New to python? I'd recommend starting with intro_to_jupyter otherwise go with subreddit_analysis
