Urban Simulation Practicals

Dependencies

To set up your python environment and run the code in the practicals, follow the instructions below.

1. Download and install anaconda.

2. Download and unzip the material from Friday practical sessions week 1.

3. Open command prompt (or terminal if on Mac).

4. In the command prompt (or terminal) navigate to the directory where you unzipped the file. This folder contains an environment.yml file: example bellow.

   cd C:\Users\username\git\urban_simulation
   

5. Install Jupyter Notebook if not already installed.

   conda install -c conda-forge notebook
   

6. Create a new environment using the environment.yml file and activate the environment.

   • Linux or Mac:

   conda env create -f environment_mac.yml 
   source activate urbsim
   

   • Windows:

   conda env create -f environment.yml 
   activate urbsim
   

7. Create a IPython kernel for the urbsim environment.

   python -m ipykernel install --user --name urbsim --display-name "urbsim"
   

8. Launch jupyter notebook.

   jupyter notebook
   

9. Before running code in a notebook, change the kernel to match the urbsim environment by using the drop-down Kernel menu.

urban_simulation's Issues

environment install

For environment install I used the anaconda command prompt on windows

I had to use:

conda env create -f environment.yml 

conda activate urbsim

As the current environment install didn't work so I followed this: https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html

Then use the python -m ipykernel install --user --name -urbsim --display-name "urbsim"

but I have the environment installed after this and can create a new notebook using this kernel going forward
