Assumptions

The following things are assumed to be true in this documentation.

• You are running OSX.
• You are using Python 2.7. (Probably the version that came OSX.)
• You have virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper installed and working.
• You have NPR's AWS credentials stored as environment variables locally.

Bootstrap the project

cd name-of-project
mkvirtualenv name-of-project
pip install -r requirements.txt

Problems installing requirements? You may need to run the pip command as ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future pip install -r requirements.txt to work around an issue with OSX.

Run the notebook

jupyter notebook

The homepage of the notebook should open automatically in your preferred browser. Notebooks generally run on localhost:8888 if it is the sole notebook running.
