If you are a git user, you can get the tutorial materials by cloning this repo:
git clone https://github.com/martinfleis/dask-geopandas-tutorial.git
cd dask-geopandas-tutorial
Otherwise, to download the repository to your local machine as a zip-file,
click the download ZIP on the repository page
https://github.com/martinfleis/dask-geopandas-tutorial
(green button "Code"). After the download, unzip on the location you prefer
within your user account (e.g. My Documents, not C:\).
To follow the tutorial, we recommend to create a conda environment to
ensure you have all the required packages installed (the
environment.yml file list the required packages).
If you do not yet have conda installed, you can install miniconda
(https://conda.io/miniconda.html) or the (larger) Anaconda distribution
(https://www.anaconda.com/download/).
Using conda, we recommend to create a new environment with all packages using the following commands (after cloning or downloading this github repo and navigating to the directory, see above):
# setting the configuation so all packages come from the conda-forge channel
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict
# mamba provides a faster implementation of conda
conda install mamba
# creating the environment
mamba env create --file environment.yml
# activating the environment
conda activate geopandas-tutorialIn case you do not want to install everything and just want to try out the course material, use the environment setup by Binder 
The tutorial itself is a Jupyter notebook, an interactive environment to write and run code.
In the terminal, navigate to the dask-geopandas-tutorial directory (downloaded or cloned in the previous section)
Ensure that the correct environment is activated.
conda activate geopandas-tutorial
Start a jupyter notebook server by typing
jupyter lab
