Vagrant - Data Science

Description:

A Vagrant machine ready for development of data science projects in Python.

The box includes:
1. Basics: numpy, pandas, scipy, jupyter
2. Data acquisition: requests, beautifulsoup, feedparser, scrapy
3. NLP: re, NLTK
4. Database connection: psycopg2, pymongo, pyodbc
5. AWS: boto3
6. Web Framework: flask
7. Visualization: matplotlib, seaborn, bokeh
8. Machine Learning: scikit-learn, theano, keras, tensorflow

Instructions:

· Install VirtualBox
· Install Vagrant
· In the terminal, clone the repository

$ git clone git@github.com:jaimeps/vagrant-data-science.git

· Change to your project directory

$ cd vagrant-data-science

· To create the VM, run

$ vagrant up

· Once the setup is finished, we can login to the VM

$ vagrant ssh

Jupyter notebook:

To launch jupyter run

$ jupyter notebook --ip=0.0.0.0

You can find the notebook in the host's browser at http://127.0.0.1:8888

Pycharm integration:

We can use our local Pycharm IDE with the Vagrant box as the Python interpreter.
In Pycharm go to Preferences > Project > Project Interpreter
Select "Add remote" in the settings button

Select Vagrant as the interpreter and the folder of the vagrant box in your computer

Now the Pycharm interpreter should look like this

Shared folder:

For convenience the "shared" folder is synced.

Customization:

• To increase the memory or CPU count, change the following lines in the Vagrantfile:

vb.memory = "1024"
vb.cpus = 4

• To add/remove Python modules in the setup, see the script in bootstrap.sh
