Data Mining Workshop Pre-requisites
- Workshop participants should have a basic familiarity with general concepts of variable stars, such variable-star classification, periodic vs. aperiodic variability, the VSX database, and so forth.
- Computer: All software is free, open-source, and cross-platform (tested on Windows, MacOS, & Linux). Participants should have a computer with one of those operating systems.
- Installation: We will provide ample documentation on installing the required software. Furthermore, in the weeks before the workshop, we will offer one-on-one support to troubleshoot any installation issues. We will not spend any time installing software at the workshop, so we ask that at least one week before the workshop, workshop participants:
o install the Anaconda distribution of Python,
o install lightkurve, and
o download VStar and add the Lightkurve plugin.
