This is a Renku project for the causality course taught at ETH Zurich during the spring semester.
A Renku project is basically a git repository with some
bells and whistles. You'll find we have already created some
useful things like `data` and `notebooks` directories and
a `Dockerfile`.
a `Dockerfile`. The `notebooks` directory contains the Jupyter notebooks you'll work on during
the in-class exercise sessions.
## Working with the project
The simplest way to start your project is right from the Renku
platform - just click on the `Environments` tab and start a new session.
The simplest way to start working is to fork this project. Once you have done this,
just click on the `Environments` tab and start a new session.
This will start an interactive environment right in your browser.
To work with the project anywhere outside the Renku platform,
click the `Settings` tab where you will find the
git repo URLs - use `git` to clone the project on whichever machine you want.
### Changing interactive environment dependencies
Initially we install a very minimal set of packages to keep the images small.
However, you can add python and conda packages in `requirements.txt` and
`environment.yml`, and R packages to `install.R` (listed as, for example,
`install.packages("ggplot2")`), to your heart's content. If you need more fine-grained
control over your environment, please see [the documentation](https://renku.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/advanced_interfaces.html#dockerfile-modifications).
## Project configuration
Project options can be found in `.renku/renku.ini`. In this
project there is currently only one option, which specifies
the default type of environment to open, in this case `/rstudio`.
## Moving forward
Once you feel at home with your project, we recommend that you replace
this README file with your own project documentation! Happy data wrangling!
