UCL Geography: Level 7 course, Scientific Computing
This repository contains the core settings for software several UCL MSc Geography courses.
It is designed to allow users to install the software necessary to partipate in these courses.
You need a computer with internet access, although once the software is downloaded you should be able to run things mainly stand-alone.
You will need at least 10 GB of disk space, ideally more. The docker image for this repository is around 1.5 GB compressed.
The simplest way to install this software that does not interfere with any other settings on your computer is to make use of Docker.
First then, install Docker on your computer.
Next, pull the docker image and run a test notebook. In a terminal, type:
docker run -p 8888:8888 proflewis/uclgeog
This should download the docker image (if it isnt already downloaded) and print some text such as:
http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=780c0c7038061608a8e9c92a293c8ecc3b04f173ef281734
Open a browser with that address, then navigate to the notebook you want to use.
To install the repo conda package:
conda install -c proflewis uclgeog
For reference, the docker file is stored on docker hub.
The script bin/dockerMe contains all of the docker commands you might need to create such a docker image yourself.
This docker file is derived from jupyter/base-notebook.
