data-analytics

Welcome to the Tidepool Data Analytics Respository. This is the home for the code we use to download, clean, and analyze data for the Tidepool Big Data Donation project.

About our use of Python & R

We use the Anaconda distribution of Python & R. You are welcome to install the full Anaconda installer, but will only need Miniconda to get started.

Getting started

1. Install Miniconda for your platform.
2. In a terminal, navigate to the data-analytics directory where the environment.yml is located.
3. Run conda env create. This will download all of the package dependencies and install them in a virtual environment named tidepool-analytics. PLEASE NOTE: this may take close to 30 minutes to complete.

To list the Virtual Environments

Run conda env list

To use the Virtual Environment

In Bash run source activate tidepool-analytics, or in the Anaconda Prompt run conda activate tidepool-analytics to start the environment.

Run deactivate to stop the environment.
