OfflineDataSci

This package helps you download and configure common tools for teaching and doing data science without an internet connection. This includes:

• Installers for data science languages: Currently R and Python
• Installers for common data science IDEs: Currently RStudio
• Partial local mirrors of package repositories: Currently CRAN (for R) and PyPI (for Python)
• Locally browseable clones of data science teaching websites: Currently Data Carpentry and Software Carpentry

Status

Early stage experiment

Installation

Using pip:

pip install offlinedatasci

Using pipx:

To install just the command line interface (CLI) we recommend pipx. Install pipx and then run:

pipx install offlinedatasci

Installing development versions

Directly From GitHub

pip install git+https://git@github.com/carpentriesoffline/offlinedatasci.git

Locally

Clone the repository and from the root directory run:

git clone https://github.com/carpentriesoffline/offlinedatasci.git
cd offlinedatasci
pip install .

On macOS make sure wheel package is installed first.

Usage

Download and setup everything

offlinedatasci install all /install/path

Create just the local CRAN mirror with basic data science packages

offlinedatasci install minicran /install/path

Add packages to repository mirrors:

To add packages beyond those included in the basic data science teaching focused mirrors use add-packages The command structure is offlinedatasci add-packages followed by the language you want to add packages to, followed by the names of the packages, followed by the path of the mirror. The path should be the same as where the mirror was originally setup, so the same install path you used for setup offlinedatasci.

For example, to add the sf, terra, and stars geospatial packages to the CRAN mirror:

offlinedatasci add-packages r sf terra stars /install/path

Developer docs

Creating a release
