Prepare data paths

Copy config.template.json to config.json and edit the paths for data and figures, for example:

{
    "data_path": "/home/<user>/projects/WISC/data",
    "figures_path": "/home/<user>/projects/WISC/figures"
}

Python requirements

Recommended option is to use a miniconda environment to work in for this project, relying on conda to handle some of the trickier library dependencies.

# Add conda-forge channel for extra packages
conda config --add channels conda-forge

# Create a conda environment for the project and install packages
conda env create -f .environment.yml
activate WISC
