Mongo tutorial for ALeRCE

Tutorial for (py)mongo, geared towards ALeRCE users.

Set up

To install all dependencies needed for this tutorial run,

pip install -r requirements.txt

To set up the database we'll be using during the tutorial, you'll need to install docker compose.

To run the container, use:

docker compose up -d

Note: If you have an old version of docker compose, the above command might need to be replaced by:

docker-compose up -d

Loading data

There are scripts that will load data into the database (used from module 2 onwards). To insert all the data run the following (while the docker container is running):

python scripts/populate.py

Start the tutorial

To start the tutorial, run:

jupyter-lab

A browser tab should be opened and from there you can navigate to the tutorial folder, where the notebooks are sorted from first to last module.
