It's a good idea to use virtualenv⁠ to manage your Python 3 virtual environment:

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 ~/venv

Then run:

source ~/venv/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m nltk.downloader punkt
python -m nltk.downloader wordnet
python -m textblob.download_corpora
python -m spacy download en

⁠Docker support

A Docker container -- courtesy of @montyz, @ashapochka -- was defined for an instance of this course a few months ago: https://github.com/montyz/nlp-12-14-2016⁠

That's been extended by @odewahn to run on Launchbot⁠ and JupyterHub⁠

To run the docker container locally.

docker-compose up

⁠Command line test

To exercise the code in the pynlp library:

python pynlp.py html/article1.html a1.json
