This repository contains the notebooks and Jupyterbook configuration for the Geospatial Python Tutorials website.

The website is a static website generated using the following technologies

• All the content is based on Markdown files and Jupyter notebooks.
• The HTML is generated using Jupyterbook.
• The webpages are hosted on Github Pages.
• Comments are powered by utterances.

Clone the Repository

git clone git@github.com:spatialthoughts/geopython-tutorials.git
cd geopython-tutorials

Installation

The following instructions have been tested for Linux/Mac systems. I prefer conda for environment management so the instructions use conda, but if you prefer virtualenv, you can use it instead as well.

Create a new environment named geopython-tutorials and install dependencies. Optionally we also need make to build the source files.

conda create --name geopython-tutorials
conda activate geopython-tutorials
conda install pip
conda install make
pip install -r requirements.txt

Updating the Contents

The homepage content is in the file introduction.md. All other content is generated from the .ipynb files in the notebooks folder. The table of content is in the _toc.yml file.

Editing existing tutorials

• Edit the corresponding notebook in the notebooks/ folder using Jupyterlab/Colab.

Adding a new tutorial

• Add the .ipynb file in the notebooks/ folder.
• Edit the _toc.yml file and add the section for the new tutorial.
