Vagrant & Docker
Written on 24.04.2024 17:43 by Luca Gretscher
Dear students,
in the course of this lecture, we will use Python and in particular Jupyter Notebooks to explain various concepts. For a few notebooks, we also require additional software (e.g. PostgreSQL). Therefore, we provide a Virtual Machine using Vagrant that has all the required software and systems already installed. You can find detailed instructions at the following Github repository. The link is also available under Information > Vagrant. We also provide a small FAQ.
As there are problems with Vagrant on Apple Silicon chips, we also created a Docker image which can be used instead of the Vagrant VM. You can find detailed instructions at the following Github repository. The link is also available under Information > Docker.
We spent a lot of time preparing the tools and the instructions. Please read them carefully before asking questions.
Please note, that you are also able to run most of the notebooks by just having a Python installation with the required packages.
If you still have problems with the installation, you can always ask a question in the forum (bde24 > Technical Problems).
Kind regards,
Your BDE Team
