Get Started on RenkuLab

Note

We’re building the next version of Renku! If you’re looking for a tutorial for Renku 2.0, please see the Renku 2.0 documentation on our Community Portal instead. This tutorial is outdated and refers to the legacy version of Renku that is no longer under active development. To learn more about the big changes coming in Renku, check out our blog post.

This tutorial will help you get started working on the Renkulab platform. We will use Renku to realize a very small data science project: counting the number of flights to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in January, 2019. In this tutorial we will provide instructions for Python, Julia (in JupyterLab) and R (in RStudio).

Follow the steps below to learn how to use Renku to:

• Create a new project
• Start a session
• Add data to your project
• Installing and managing packages
• Ways to do data science in Renku
• Interactively explore the flights data
• Building scripts
• Build a reproducible workflow
• Update your results using the recorded workflow
• Define your Workflow in a Workflow File
• Share your results and collaborate with your peers
• Where to go from here?
