Repository Usage

To build our repository template as-is from start to finish, the following procedure should be implemented:

1. From the data subdirectory, run the following bash command in a terminal:

   python make.py
   

2. From the analysis subdirectory, run the following bash command in a terminal:

   python make.py
   

3. From the paper_slides subdirectory, run the following bash command in a terminal:

   python make.py
   

**If you are using Windows, you will need to run all bash commands in administrator mode. This is creating a symbolic link in Windows requires administrator privileges. **

Python Environment

Shell vs. IDE

The instructions for setting up command line usage and building the repository assume you are running Python via shell as opposed to an integrated development environment (IDE) such as Spyder.

If you are using an IDE, it is critical to note that environment variables such as PATH for your IDE may be different from those in your system environment. Therefore, you will need to tailor the setup instructions to be specific for your IDE.

Administrator mode

If you are using Windows, you must run the GSLab Make library on administrator mode. To do so, open your terminal/IDE by right clicking and selecting Run as administrator.

To permanently set up your terminal/IDE to run as administrator mode:

1. Right click on the shortcut for your terminal/IDE and select Properties.
2. Click Advanced and check Run as administrator.
3. Click OK.
