spaCy + Cython demo

Setup

• It's easy to get set up. Make sure to have a working conda and run the following from inside the repository:

  ./setup.sh
  

• This will create a conda environment named spacy and it will also install the packages in this repository into the environment, cythonizing/compiling the Cython extensions as needed automatically.

Jupyter Notebooks

• The notebooks can be run by first starting the notebook server (on port 9999 or any port you want to use) from within the repository

  jupyter notebook --no_browser --port 9999
  

  and then navigating to http://localhost:9999 in your browser and clicking on the notebook file that you want to start.

• When finished, check the notebooks that are to be shut down and click the red button to shut down the notebook sessions. Afterwards, navigate to the command-line where the server was started and press Ctrl+C twice in a row to shut down the entire server.
