fviz

Facebook Data Visualiser - made with <3

vision

I was interested in understanding my facebook activities overtime. Also I had a knack in checking how much data I'm giving facebook. So, I thought of analysing exported facebook data and understanding what's it saying.

Later on I thought of making this tool a portable and easy installable one. So that anyone which some simple installation skills can use this tool and generate various plots, and understand their own activity on facebook overtime.

This tool does strictly run on user's machine. It doesn't talk to any remote machine, so you can use it while feeding it your exported facebook data.

usage

• Make sure you've Python ( >=3.7 ) installed
• Also install pip using your OS specific package manager

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip

• Now you're good to go and install fviz

$ python3 -m pip install fviz -U

• And voila !!!
• fviz is installed at $HOME/.local/bin. Add this path to $PATH env variable. For so, open ~/.bashrc and append following line at very bottom. This will make fviz available for invokation from any place in your system.

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"

• I'm assuming you've already requestsed facebook for exporting your facebook data, and downloaded so. Time to pass that .zip file to fviz and get results.

$ fviz facebook-username.zip sink plots

• sink is the directory where this .zip to be extracted. And plots is the directory where generated plots to be placed. You can set them as you will.

All these plots to be generated when you invoke fviz with proper params.
