COVID19_tracker_data_extraction

Data is often not collected by Black communities when it is needed the most. We have compiled a list of all of the states that have shared data on COVID-19 infections and deaths by race and those who have not. This effort is to extract this data from websites to track disparities COVID-19 deaths and cases for Black people.

Mac Setup

Install Pip:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py

Install / Setup Virtualenv:

Note: This is simply a recommended way to keep packages for this repo. You can choose to install this globally if you'd like.

Installing and setting up virtualenv:

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv d4blcovid19tracker

Activating virtualenv

source d4blcovid19tracker/bin/activate

Adding an alias to easily enter into this environment can be helpful. For example, in your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc:

alias enter_d4bl='cd /path/to/COVID19_tracker_data_extraction/workflow/python; source /path/to/d4blcovid19tracker/bin/activate'

Installing Packages:

In the root of the repo (./COVID19_tracker_data_extraction) run:

./setup_mac.sh
pip install -r requirements.txt

Setup pre-commit hook:

In the root of the repo (./COVID19_tracker_data_extraction), run:

pre-commit install

This setups a pre-commit hook to lint and format files added to your local git index on a git commit. This will run before the commit takes place, so if there are errors, the commit will not take place.
