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 Docker 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 > Docker.
We spent a lot of time preparing the tools and the instructions. Please read them carefully before asking questions.
If you have problems with the installation, you can always ask a question in the forum (BDE26 > Technical). Additionally, there will be a special Docker support office hour on Tuesday, 14.04.2026, 12:15 - 14:00 in E2 2 - Lecture Hall 0.01 (Günter-Hotz).
Kind regards,
Your BDE Team
