A.2. Install NLPIA

We like to install software source code that we’re working on in a subdirectory under our user $HOME called code/, but you can put it wherever you like. If this doesn’t work, check out the nlpia README (https://github.com/totalgood/nlpia) for updated installation instructions.

Listing A.2. Install nlpia source with conda

$ mkdir -p ~/code
$ cd ~/code
$ git clone https://github.com/totalgood/nlpia
$ cd ~/code/nlpia
$ conda install -y pip                                       1
$ pip install --upgrade pip                                  2
$ conda env create -n nlpiaenv -f conda/environment.yml      3
$ source activate nlpiaenv                                   4
$ pip install --upgrade pip                                  5
$ pip install -e .                                           6

• 1 Install the latest conda binary for pip within your root conda environment.

• 3 Create a conda environment, a directory in "$HOME/Anaconda3/envs/nlpia" with binary & source dependencies.
• 4 Activate your Python environment.
• 5 Install the latest pip within your nlpiaenv environment.
• 6 Install an editable source code directory for nlpia, so your changes source and data will go "live" whenever you save your edits to disk.
