How to Execute this Notebook (with conda)

Install miniconda on your computer

  1. Open a Terminal (MacOS) or the Anaconda Prompt (Windows)
  2. At a command line, change the working directory to the one where you want to install
    • On MacOS/unix, if you install in the /tmp directory, the repo will disappear at reboot:
    • cd /tmp
  3. git clone https://github.com/econ-ark/ctDiscrete --recursive
  4. cd ctDiscrete
  5. conda env create -f ./binder/environment.yml --prefix ./condaenv
    • This creates ./condaenv inside your clone of the repo, containing dependencies.
  6. conda run --prefix ./condaenv pip install jupyterlab
  7. conda run --prefix ./condaenv jupyter-lab
