Running the Example Notebook

1. Install Docker

   To run the exercises on you're own computer you'll need to have Docker Installed. More information about getting started with docker can be found here: https://docs.docker.com/get-started/#prepare-your-docker-environment

2. Download and unzip the repository: https://github.com/RTIInternational/BigSurv18-Spark-for-Social-Science/archive/master.zip

3. Run Jupyter notebook

   In a terminal or command prompt change directory to the work directory.

   From the work diretory of the repo run:

   docker run --rm -p 8888:8888 -v "$PWD":/home/jovyan/work ianthomas/bigsurv-s4ss

   This will downlod ~4GB of data so be sure to do this before the course.

   When successful this will start generating log output. The last line will be something similar to:

   http://(fb7264d089ae or 127.0.0.1):8888/?token=27f232ee7634f282bf12ee49a9b0c588a4528d2c539d9e7b

   Copy the token

4. Connect to the notebook

   In a web browser go to http://localhost:8888/?token= <copied token>
