During the setups you will also create private/public keys for GitHub. You can watch this video to understand more how that works.

Setup of your Macbook

We will use homebrew to install different programms and dependencies so that everything is running smoothly on your machine. Additionally we set up a Justfile where all the commands are listed that have to be run in order to setup your Macbook.

1. Navigate to the directory ds-getting-started/setup-with-just in your Finder (probably in Downloads)
2. Click with 2 fingers (or right click) on setup-with-just choose Services, then New Terminal at Folder. Alternatively navigate to the ds-getting-started/setup-with-just in your terminal
3. Type ./setup.sh and press Enter. The first prompt will ask you to type your password, for other prompts you can simple press Enter.
4. The ssh key is now copied to your buffer. Navigate to your Profile on Github:
   • go to Settings and then to SSH and GPG keys.
   • click New SSH key and paste the contents of your buffer inside.
   • Click Add SSH key.
5. Start Iterm and go to Settings, go to Profiles, then Text. When you click on Profiles and select Text you can set the Font at the bottom of the window. Choose JetBrainsMono Nerd Font

Running your first analysis

Now you are good to go. Let's look at some cool libraries we can try, for example on visualising missing data.

Go to notebooks and open the see-missing-data.ipynb notebook.
