If you would like to contribute or add functionalities to mobilkit, feel free to fork the project, open an issue and contact us.

Installation

Install with pip

You need to have a running version of Dask on your system. Once you have it you can create an environment and install mobilkit there.

  1. Create an environment mobilkit

     python3 -m venv mobilkit
    
  2. Activate

     source mobilkit/bin/activate
    
  3. Update pip

     pip install --upgrade pip
    
  4. Install mobilkit

     pip install mobilkit
    
  5. OPTIONAL to use mobilkit on the jupyter notebook

    • Activate the virutalenv:

        source mobilkit/bin/activate
      
    • Install jupyter notebook:

        pip install jupyter 
      
    • Run jupyter notebook

        jupyter notebook
      
    • (Optional) install the kernel with a specific name

        ipython kernel install --user --name=mobilkit_env
      

If you already have scikit-mobility installed, skip the environment creation and run these commands from the skmob anaconda environment.

mobilkit by default will only install core packages needed to run the main functions. There are three optional packages of dipendencies (the mobilkit[complete] installs everything):

  • [viz] will install contextily, needed to visualize map backgrounds in certain viz functions;
  • [doc] will install all the needed packages to build the docs;
  • [skmob] will install scikit-mobility as well.

Install with conda

TODO

Test the installation

> source activate mobilkit
(mobilkit)> python
>>> import mobilkit
>>>

Examples

Several notebooks are found in the docs/examples folder, we resume here the most important ones.

Quickstart

We show the basic usage and functionalities in the mobilkit_tutorial.ipynb notebook.
