Setup options

This guide will help you set up and run SunSolve P90 from a Jupyter notebook.

Before installing ensure you have registered for access.

Recommended setup

The recommended path is to use Google Colab, this is a free service that requires a Google account and avoids the local installation of other packages.

Note that Google Colab has a 90 minute inactivity timeout and does not save your progress or output files.

1. Open Google Colab in your web browser at colab.research.google.com/…/P90 Analysis.ipynb
2. Follow the walkthrough: Jupyter notebook walkthrough.
3. Optionally use Google Drive to save files (files will not be saved otherwise):
   • change USING_DRIVE to True in code cell 1,
   • provide a project folder in code cell 1,
   • you will be prompted to give permissions, you may select none and still proceed so long as you press ‘Continue’ twice.

Local setup

Advanced users may prefer to run the Jupyter notebook locally.

See the local setup section: local setup for running the Jupyter notebook locally using Jupyter or VS Code.
