Example project​

Here is an example project that uses datasets from both Zenodo and Dataverse: https://renkulab.io/p/renku-team/demo-project-2

To see the datasets, simply click “Launch” on either of the two session launchers available in the project. The data will automatically appear mounted in the work directory.
