1. GETTING STARTED

Here’s how to install this repository, and to create COVID-19 case and death movies and figures for the United States as a whole, and specific regions inside it. Mentions of python3.7 are specific to the installation environment of one of Tanim Islam’s machines, and should not be taken as universal.

1. First clone this repo using the command,

   git clone https://github.com/tanimislam/covid19_stats.git
   

2. You will get the main directory structure, but you will notice that the covid19_stats/covid-19-data submodule is empty. To populate it, run

   git submodule update --init --recursive --progress
   

3. The requirements are in the requirements.txt. You should be able to install these Python packages into your user Python library (typically at ~/.local/lib/python3.X/site-packages) by running,

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   pip install --user -e .
   

   Of course, if you feel adventurous, you can install all-in-one-go by doing this,

   pip install --user git+https://github.com/tanimislam/covid19_stats.git#egginfo=covid19_stats
   

Note

If you are running the Anaconda Python distribution, I suggest you do this before step #3.

conda install --channel conda-forge cartopy mpi4mpy openmpi

These will install not only those Python modules, Cartopy and mpi4py, but also the lower-level libraries on which those module
