You essentially have 2 options:

• Download the data zip file
• Unzip it to a prefered location.
• After unzipping the archive file, unzip the "SWAT-MODFLOW" model zip file too.

• You will need to install Git if you don’t have it installed already. Downloads are available at the link. On windows, be sure to select the option that installs command-line tools

• For Git, you will need to set up SSH keys to work with Github. To do so:

  • Go to GitHub.com and set up an account
  • On Windows, open Git Bash (on Mac/Linux, just open a terminal) and set up ssh keys if you haven’t already. To do this, simply type ssh-keygen in git bash/terminal and accept all defaults (important note - when prompted for an optional passphrase, just hit return.)

• Follow the instructions to set up the SSH keys with your GitHub account.

• Clone the materials from GitHub.

  • Open a git bash shell from the start menu (or, on a Mac/Linux, open a terminal)
  • Navigate to the folder you made to put the course materials
  • Clone the materials by executing the following in the git bash or terminal window:

  git clone https://github.com/spark-brc/swatmf_pest_zon.git

To execute jupyter notebook, we need the Anaconda environment.

• If you don’t already have Anaconda Python installed, please install from this link:https://conda.io/miniconda.html
• Select the Python 3.7, 3.8, or 3.9 version.
  • Important - on Windows, choose option to install “for this user only” (Note, if you already have Anaconda installed, just skip to the next step which you will still need to run)

• On Windows open the Anaconda Prompt from Start menu (on a Mac/Linux just open a terminal). And paste in this string and execute (this creates a python environment (swatmf) that will work with our codes):

conda create -n swatmf python=3.9 jupyter notebook

• Activate the swatmf environment

conda activate swatmf 

• Finally, install libraries

pip install swatmf

Then change directory into the example folder or drive:

• Change directory (example) or select drive where the dataset was downloaded

cd swatmf_pest_zon-main

• Launch jupyter notebook

jupyter notebook

A browser window with a Jupyter notebook instance should open. Yay!
