Run map.py on netherlandsmap.csv¶

Python is already installed on your computer from the Anaconda all-in-one installer. We can give Python commands directly in the command line by using a specific format that always starts with its name:

  1. Change directory to py_workshop_2021/scripts: cd ../scripts

  2. Tell python to run the map.py script on the netherlandsmap.csv file: python map.py ../data/netherlandsmap.csv

  3. Check out the map - bet it is the first map you’ve ever seen a turtle draw!

Try on your own

The oregonmap.csv file also works with the map.py script - in fact this is the original data file from the repository owner which we used for the demonstration ((c) 2014 Andrea Cleland). Try drawing a map from oregonmap.csv.

Solution
