    Applied Data Science and Applications

    in Social Policy
    June 2022

    Introduction
    Here are some instructions to get started with the workspace.

    We assume you have a laptop or a desktop computer to install programs. We will be


    installing Anaconda. This should all work on a Mac or Windows machine.

    Let’s get started!

    1. Getting your environment ready


    Python's rapid growth in use places it among the most popular programing
    languages. Python's popularity stems from being open source (and free!) and having an
    extensible nature. As a programming language, Python has become prominent in recent
    years as a tool for performing high level data analytics, machine learning, and deep
    learning. Anaconda Distribution is an open data science platform for Python. Anaconda
    simplifies package management and deployment. Anaconda also simplifies the problems
    that beginners may run into.

    This document will take you through how to set Anaconda up, how to configure it, so you
    can use it in the class.

    For this course, we'll be using Python 3.9 within Anaconda.

    • Install Anaconda
    2. Install Anaconda
    i. Click link for the system (i.e., windows, IOS, Linux) you are using:
    ii. Click download

    For Windows:
    iii. Follow the instructions that appear on your screen:
    i. Click next →

    For Mac: Click view downloads (or go to downloads folder) and click downloaded installer.

    i. Follow the instructions that appear on your screen and click install:
    Follow the steps

    3. Anaconda Navigator
    i. For Windows: Log into Anaconda Navigator (search for Anaconda Prompt on your
    screen)
    For Mac: Log into Anaconda Navigator (search via Spotlight or Launchpad on your
    screen)
    ii. Click on Anaconda Navigator to see what has been downloaded
    iii. Examine the tools on Anaconda environment. We will mainly use Jupyter Notebook.
    You will share your projects with Jupyter Notebook.

    iv. Examine Jupyter Notebook

    i. You can launch Jupyter notebook by clicking on “Launch” or open it using


    Anaconda Prompt or from terminal. Now you see Jupyter notebook is running
    on your local server (i.e., localhost:8888/tree), now you can see a file tree (i.e.,
    list of files on your computer)
    ii. Click on drop menu called “New” and click “Python 3 (ipykernel)”

    iii. Type “Hello World” into the cell and click “Run”

    4. You’re all done
