Setting up the Enviornment

You can easily setup the enviornment with all required components ( data and notebooks ) with the help of Docker.

Here are the steps.

1. Install Docker on your local machine. You will required documentation on Docker website [ https://docs.docker.com/install/ ]

2. Make sure Docker is working fine. If you are not getting any error and able to see the docker

$ docker --version

3. Download the docker image and create container for the tutorial

$ docker run -it --rm -p 8888:8888 -p 0.0.0.0:6006:6006 meabhishekkumar/strata-ca-2018
