Development Environment
This page outlines the steps to creating a working development environment for working with the DataLab repository.
This is a list of thing you'll need to setup ... more details on each further below.
- Python 2.7.x, various python libraries for data analysis and datalab dependencies, and IPython 4.2.x
- Node.js 6.10.x (the frontend web server is built in node.js) and supporting tools.
- Bower and the Polymer CLI are used for building the new experimental UI.
- Google Cloud SDK for all things Google Cloud Platform related.
- Docker for creating and running the datalab container.
The easiest way to get python is to use a python distribution like miniconda. This allows easy setup of python and required dependencies.
First install node.js. This installs the node and npm.
mkdir -p ~/tools/node
wget -nv https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.10.0/node-v6.10.0-linux-x64.tar.gz -O node.tar.gz
tar xzf node.tar.gz -C ~/tools/node --strip-components=1
rm node.tar.gz
# add to ~/.bashrc
export PATH=~/tools/node/bin:$PATH
Next install the TypeScript compiler (which compiles typescript into javascript), Bower, and the Polymer CLI:
sudo npm install -g typescript bower polymer-cli
Additionally you'll need the Google Cloud SDK locally installed and configured.
# Install gcloud - [more info](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/)
curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash
# Setup gcloud (once usually suffices, unless you need to change projects)
gcloud auth login
gcloud config set project <your cloud project>
gcloud config set compute/zone <zone name - eg. us-central1-a>
Finally, you'll want to setup docker to build and run the docker container. You can get it here.
You can read on docker here.
You should now be set to build and run DataLab in your development environment. Also, be sure to checkout the page on developer workflow for how we manage the development process.
