Usage

You must have Anaconda and Jupyter Lab installed and be running Python >= 3.7 to run this dashboard.

1. Set up a new Anaconda environment called pyvizenv.

   conda update anaconda
   conda create -n pyvizenv python=3.7 anaconda -y
   conda activate pyvizenv

2. Install environment dependencies.

   pip install python-dotenv
   pip install numpy==1.19
   pip install matplotlib==3.0.3
   
   conda install -c conda-forge nodejs=12 -y
   conda install -c pyviz holoviz -y
   conda install -c plotly plotly -y
   conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab=2.2 -y

3. Install the Jupyter Lab extensions.

   jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager --no-build
   jupyter labextension install jupyterlab-plotly --no-build
   jupyter labextension install plotlywidget --no-build
   jupyter labextension install @pyviz/jupyterlab_pyviz --no-build

4. Build the Extensions.

   jupyter lab build

5. Ensure the successful installation of the dependencies by finding them in Anaconda.

   conda list nodejs
   conda list holoviz
   conda list hvplot
   conda list panel
   conda list plotly

6. You will need a MapBox API key to get map data. If you don't have a MapBox API key, here are instructions on how to get one and set it up as an environment variable.

7. Run all cells in Jupyter and view the dashboard in the browser by executing the final cell dashboard.servable().
