We are given some [docker images provisioned with data and Python or R](https://github.com/Sage-Bionetworks/nf-hackathon-2019) for quick setup for the challenge. I haven't tried to dual-boot my Windows Home Edition PC to Linux. I can still run the docker images. Here is the path: * Download [Docker Toolbox](https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/toolbox_install_windows/). Note this is what works on Windows Home Edition. You need Windows Professional to run the more recent docker. But it's OK, it still works. * Run the newly installed Docker Quickstart * In Docker Quickstart, download one of the docker images listed on the GitHub, for example ``` docker pull nfosi/nf-hackathon-2019-py ``` * In Docker Quickstart, run ``` docker-machine ip ``` to get the IP address. Suppose it is 123.456.78.910. * Run the docker image ``` docker run -p 8888:8888 nfosi/nf-hackathon-2019-py ``` It will tell you something like ``` [I 00:16:50.410 NotebookApp] The Jupyter Notebook is running at: [I 00:16:50.411 NotebookApp] http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=fa13464756954b325753106b75c8398c991ce9d05ff523de ``` * Replace IP address 127.0.0.1 with the string you wrote down in Step 3 (because Windows will probably be blocked 127.0.0.1 for Docker). So something like ``` http://123.456.78.910:8888/?token=fa13464756954b325753106b75c8398c991ce9d05ff523de ``` * Paste the modified URL into your Browser to get to the Docker image Jupyter notebook. P.S. Once I looked at the notebooks running inside the Docker, then I looked at the GitHub, I realized that the shorter solution is just to run these notebooks directly in a local Python inside Windows: https://github.com/Sage-Bionetworks/nf-hackathon-2019/tree/master/py_demos
