Navigate to the directory containing environment.yml (included in the repo).
cd [location where you saved the repo]/PlanYourNextEclipseViewing- Create the Conda environment you will need to run the tutorial. Note: it is called
geopandasenv. This could take anywhere from 10-30 minutes to finish.
conda env create environment.yml- Now you can activate the environment.
source activate geopandasenv # macOS and Linux
activate geopandasenv # Windows.- To open the Jupyter Notebooks included in this tutorial, in your Anaconda prompt navigated to the Notebook directory, type in:
jupyter notebookThis will open a browser where you can click and open each Notebook.
- If you ever want to deactivate the geopandasenv environment, type the following in your Anaconda prompt:
source deactivate # macOS and Linux
deactivate # Windows.
