Covid-19 in the US in 2020 data analysis

The dataset used to preform the data analysis in this project was found on Kaggle. This project combines the knowledge I gained from Data Analysis with Python: Zero to Pandas and the documentation of modules, methods, and functions found in the Matplotlib, Pandas, and seaborn libraries. This project dives into an analysis and trends of cases and deaths related to Covid-19 in the US during the 2020 year

How to run the code

This is an executable Jupyter notebook hosted on Jovian.ml, a platform for sharing data science projects. You can run and experiment with the code in a couple of ways: using free online resources (recommended) or on your own computer.

Option 1: Running using free online resources (1-click, recommended)

The easiest way to start executing this notebook is to click the "Run" button at the top of this page, and select "Run on Binder". This will run the notebook on mybinder.org, a free online service for running Jupyter notebooks. You can also select "Run on Colab" or "Run on Kaggle".

Option 2: Running on your computer locally

1. Install Conda by following these instructions. Add Conda binaries to your system PATH, so you can use the conda command on your terminal.

2. Create a Conda environment and install the required libraries by running these commands on the terminal:

conda create -n zerotopandas -y python=3.8 
conda activate zerotopandas
pip install jovian jupyter numpy pandas matplotlib seaborn opendatasets --upgrade

3. Press the "Clone" button above to copy the command for downloading the notebook, and run it on the terminal. This will create a new directory and download the notebook. The command will look something like this:

jovian clone notebook-owner/notebook-id

4. Enter the newly created directory using cd directory-name and start the Jupyter notebook.

jupyter notebook

You can now access Jupyter's web interface by clicking the link that shows up on the terminal or by visiting http://localhost:8888 on your browser. Click on the notebook file (it has a .ipynb extension) to open it.
