Requirements

To install the Data Science blueprint and benefit from all its features, a few requirements will have to be checked

  • python
  • docker
  • pip
  • git

And that’s it. To check your python version, you can type in this instruction in your favorite terminal. Knowing which executable is installed on your machine will help you decide on the python interpreter to choose

python --version
python3 --version

Regarding Docker, you must be able to run docker commands without being sudo. Therefore, you must be able to check this command on your terminal:

docker --version

If it appears that you need to be sudo to run docker, then you must add your user account to the docker group that was created after installing docker on your machine. This can be done thanks to this command:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

To interact avec the blueprint, you will need to run the make command many times. This command can run definitions that are specified in the Makefile file. Depending on the operating system you are installing the blueprint on, you will find much documentation about how to install make.
