Create your own binder notebook

1. Create a new repository from this template: Click on this link to create a new repository that has the same folder structure as our template. Make sure that you create a public repository.

2. Use other data:

   • you can copy smaller datasets in the data_for_container/ folder (you can use the .parquet file format to compress your files. pandas has methods for reading and writing parquet files).
   • for larger datasets, we recommend accessing them using web APIs (e.g. with the requests package).

3. Add own Notebooks: copy your notebook files in the data_for_container/.

4. Create your own binder link / button: Go to https://mybinder.org/ and fill in your repository's details.

5. Share the binder link with your friends and the world.
