2. 开发环境安装

选择1：下载使用虚拟机

Option 1: Use a Virtual Machine to run in your own computer (Difficulty level: Easy, like being a boss)

• Download a pre-configurated Ubuntu Linux virtual machine (25 GB size), which contains all environment setup: https://github.com/telescopeuser/iss-vm
• Start the VM using Virtualbox. Free Virtualbox download: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
• Click iss-env-py3 Jupyter icon on desktop to start Jupyter Notebook
• Choose your favorite file folder, then git clone/pull workshop_blog notebooks from Github: https://github.com/telescopeuser/workshop_blog.git

On desktop, click 'Solution WeChat Software Robot' to start the quick demo in terminal, or manually start by command:

$ python workshop_blog/wechat_tool/terminal-script-py/lesson_1_terminal_py3.py

选择2：使用云平台

Option 2: Use Cloud Platform (Difficulty level: Medium, as nudging your colleague)

Create an account in Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

• Complete GCP Registration: https://cloud.google.com/free/ <--- In case you are lost here, quick guide: https://cloud.google.com/getting-started/

• Go to GCP Console: https://console.cloud.google.com/home

• Create a new project:

  project id: kudosdata01 [This is uniquie GCP project-id, which you MUST change to your own id.]

  project name: kudosdata01 [You MAY change to your own name.]

  zone: asia-east1-b [Choose a data center near your location.]

• Enable GCP Compute Engine API for new project, using GCP API Manager

Start Datalab (Jupyter python notebook) using Cloud Shell

• Create/Connect a GCP Compute Engine virtual machine to use Datalab: kudosdata01-vm-datalab-workshop <--- In case you are lost here, quick guide: https://cloud.google.com/datalab/docs/quickstarts

  gcloud projects list

  gcloud config set core/project kudosdata01 [your own unique project-id]

  gcloud config set compute/zone asia-east1-b

  datalab create kudosdata01-vm-datalab-workshop --zone asia-east1-b [1st time for creation]

  datalab connect kudosdata01-vm-datalab-workshop [2nd time for connection]

  datalab stop kudosdata01-vm-datalab-workshop [stop VM after use]

• Open Datalab in web browser, then create a new notebook from datalab folder, then run below two command in notebook cell:

  !git clone https://github.com/telescopeuser/workshop_blog.git

  %load workshop_blog/setup_cloud.py

选择3：本地电脑安装

Option 3: Use your own computer (Difficulty level: High, as what you normally do)

• Install Anaconda3 (This software includes many useful tools: Python3, Jupyter Notebook, pip) https://www.continuum.io/downloads

• Install Git & Git Bash https://git-scm.com/downloads

• Install WeChat API package for Anaconda / python

  pip install -U html

  pip install -U qrcode

  pip install -U itchat

• Download workshop python notebook code from Github: https://github.com/telescopeuser/workshop_blog.git

• Start Jupyter Notebook (Here I use Git Bash command line tool)

• Open a web browser if it's not started automatically. Go to url: http://localhost/tree

3. 恭喜您！安装成功了！下一步进入具体课程和实战操作，请打开第一课的笔记本。 Congratulations! After completing one of the installation options, you are now ready to rock! Go to GCP Datalab folder: workshop_blog/wechat_tool, open Notebook and follow...

DON'T PANIC!

The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why, and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question 'How can we eat?' the second by the question 'Why do we eat?' and the third by the question 'Where shall we have lunch?'
