Getting started

Here we will see how to get started to run the code on this website. We will do this using conda.

This really requires a few steps:

• Install conda for your platform, find how to do that here Installing conda

• Use the provided environment file environment.yml at the end of this page. It will create a econ21340-env environment with all dependencies, this includes python, jupyter, numpy, pandas, tensorflow, etc...

conda env create -f environment.yml

or use the conda interface/navigator to create the environment from the environment.yml file

• Either select the econ21340-env in your jupyter notebook, or activate your environment in the terminal

conda activate econ21340-env
