Questions

• What can we use a cloud machine for?

Objectives

• Learn how to get data from S3 onto your machine and what to do once it’s there

• Set up a Jupyter notebook server on your cloud machine

How to do computations on your cloud machine

Now, we have data inside our cloud machine. Let’s see how we can do some computing with this data.

To install Python-related software, we’ll make sure that our machine has the packages required for us to work with.

Step 1. Install miniconda We will install miniconda from this link: https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html Let’s choose

Step 2. conda install

• Install miniconda
• Install packages
• Get Jupyter Notebooks going
• Do some s3 bits from data/AWS Landsat - derive NDVI

Key Points

• Anything you can do with your desktop (almost), you can do with your cloud machine

• For interactive stuff, you can set up Jupyter to run on that machine
