Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is a free, lightweight, and powerful source code editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can use it for running the Xspatula framework pre-built Jupyter notebooks for setting up a PotgreSQL database and some basic framework processes.

To learn about and download VSCode, visit the VSCode official page. Download and install VSCode on you machine and then you can the Jupyter notebooks that are included in the framework repository. But before you can run any of them you first have to:

1. install or get access to a postgreSQL server,
2. edit the scheme file to define your postgres superuser credentials,
3. create an Anaconda virtual python environment to use with VSCode for running the framework.
