Python code files (Python v3.9) were written by Joanna Diong.
script
: Main script to run analysis.
proc
: Module containing functions used to clean data and plot figures.
A reliable way to reproduce the analysis would be to run the code in an integrated development environment for Python (e.g. PyCharm).
Create a virtual environment and install dependencies. Using the Terminal (Mac or Linux, or PyCharm Terminal),
python -m venv env
Next, activate the virtual environment.
For Mac or Linux,
source env/bin/activate
For Windows,
.\env\Scripts\activate
Then, install dependencies,
pip install -r requirements.txt
Download all files into a single folder and run script.py
.
