The base for practical content for this course will be in Python notebooks (.ipynb)
These must be workable in the Google Colab platform - https://colab.research.google.com
We have created an example notebook -
Please use this as a start base for your module.
NB- you must begin part 1 before part 2.
To begin, go to https://colab.research.google.com/
Use of Colab is free. Note - There are limitations on the free version, but we will not reach these for our conversion purposes.
On the Colab example home page, select “File”, then “Open Notebook”
There is a Tab for “Github”; select that tab and paste
https://github.com/WCSCourses/SARS-COV-2_B4B
into the search bar under “Enter a GitHub URL or search by organization or user”
After a brief search, you will see
Modules/Module_1_Notebook_Part1and2_v1.ipynb
below “Path”. Click on “Module_1_Notebook_Part1and2_v2.ipynb”
In order to run the cells, you will need to login with your Google account (it is free to make an account).
NB - The one opened directly from git will not save unless the first notebook steps are followed!
NB- you must begin part 1 before part 2. We will be using the same notebook for part 1 and part 2.
Part 2 will require you to find your notebook and continue where you left off.
By default, your Notebooks will save in a folder on My Drive of your Google Drive called “Colab Notebooks”.
Watch the videos for Part 2 in the playlist, and resume the notebook. NB - you will need to rerun the conda install cell.
