Setting up the environment

Requirements: Python 3.4+

It's strongly recommended to create a virtual environment, either with virtualenv or with conda. This section describes how to set-up the environment with virtualenv.

Get the book repo:

git clone https://github.com/bonzanini/Book-SocialMediaMiningPython.git
cd Book-SocialMediaMiningPython

Install/upgrade virtualenv (not needed on Python 3.4+):

pip install -U virtualenv

Create the environment:

virtualenv book_env

Activate the environment:

source book_env/bin/activate

Install all the Python dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt
