Throughout this material, the attendant will find ACTION! sections, which are practical steps to implement the DSM procedure using the provided datasets and scripts.
All the data used in the ACTION! sections, are available at GitHub webpage:
https://github.com/zalf-rpm/KIKompAg
at the GitHub webpage, please, click on the “Code” button and then in “Download ZIP”. All necessary datasets and Python scripts are available in the accompanying GitHub repository. Within the downloaded ZIP file, extract Lesson2 subfolder. The Lesson2 subfolder contains all the required data for this course; this is the subfolder we will use.
Then, transfer the Lesson2 folder to a the desired base working folder (named WF from here on). Important to mention that the folder structure should be kept, since the Python codes available, uses relative path.
At this step we recommend the attendant checks for the installed Python packages before proceeding. The help( ) function is a good approach for this purpose.
