Download the kaggle dataset

[chendaniely]

PR #2 updates the README.md file with the links @datajonbrig sent out in the project description (via sharepoint).

The PR also sets up the Makefile target to download and unzip the kaggle dataset into the data/db/original/kaggle folder.

This issue is for everyone to setup their Kaggle API keys and get their environments setup.

Tasks:

1. Make sure you have Python installed (anaconda or miniconda is preferred, otherwise you'll have to manage your own virtual environment)
   • If you haen't already done so, read about python (conda) virtual environments here: https://daniel.rbind.io/2020/02/29/python-environments-with-conda/
   • Setup conda forge as the default repository:

# run this in your terminal (anaconda command prompt for windows)
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict 

2. Ensure make is installed on your computer
   • If you are using conda you can install it with conda install make, if you have conda-forge setup (see comment above)
3. pull down the new updates from master. What you see on your computer should be what's displayed on GitHub
4. Install/update the conda environment by going to this project in the terminal: conda env create -f environment.yml
   • The environment.yml has make in it so it should install make for you now
5. Enable the environment with conda activate db_covid19
6. Get your kaggle API information on your computer, directions here: https://github.com/Kaggle/kaggle-api#api-credentials
7. make the data with make data make data_kaggle, it will install and unzip the kaggle dataset, know it's about 4.2GB after extraction

You should have all the kaggle files in the data/db/original/kaggle folder.

Optional, but will make your life easier later

If you get make installed outside the db_covid19 environment you can do all the setup steps listed above by running make setup_env followed by make data make data_kaggle.
This will delete your db_covid19 environment and re-install all the packages in environment.yml from scratch.

1. Go back to your base evironment: conda activate base
2. Install make there conda install make

If you don't have make instaleld you can also run this command in your environment:

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict

#15 changes the make data target to make data_kgl_text

@benrayden37 don't close the issue. you just needed to check them off
