Locally

Checkout this repo and change into the folder:

git clone https://github.com/jku-icg-classroom/va-project-2020-<GROUP_NAME>.git
cd va-project-2020-<GROUP_NAME>

Load the conda environment from the environment.yml file, if you haven't already in previous assignments:

conda env create -f environment.yml

Activate the loaded conda environment:

conda activate python-tutorial

Install Jupyter Lab extension to use ipywidgets in JupyterLab:

jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager

Launch Jupyter :

jupyter lab

Jupyter should open a new tab with url http://localhost:8888/ and display the tutorial files.

MyBinder

Go to: https://mybinder.org/ and paste your repository url to work online. MyBinder installs the dependencies specified inside of the environment.yml for you.

By default, it will launch to Jupyter Notebook, but you can switch to Jupyter Lab by simply appending ?urlpath=lab to the URL.

Note: MyBinder can not save to your repository, you need to download the notebooks and update the repository yourself!

Due on 11.01.2021.

• Make sure that you pushed your GitHub repository and not just committed it locally.
• Sending us an email with the code is not necessary.
• Please update the environment.yml file if you need additional libraries, otherwise the code is not executeable.
